I remember seeing this on cable way back when and i loved it, rewatching it now 20+ yrs later it STILL holds its charm for me! It's goofy, funny, adorable and yet it's message is still relevant-even a little guy can make a difference...yet doesn't take itself too serious. It's nice to know my fondness for this one wasn't misplaced as so often can happen with such a long time span. This was the first time I really got introduced to Damon- became an instant fan.
This film is stupid, but funny. This movie is like the upcoming movie, Mystery Men. But there's only two lame super heroes in this movie. I recommended this movie, well... sort of. ***
...But I Loved it, Although most of the jokes are very very low and the cast and acting level is one of the worst I have ever seen (frankly, It's seems to me that the actors WANTED to play bad..) - and, of course, the Lousy piece of Art design, Although all of that... I must admit that when I saw the movie I just can't stop laughing , Really... It is SO silly and SO Dumb and SO SO low, That it works!!! It did the Job!!! In my Hall of fame of trash-comedy-Movies It almost Equals to Jim Carrey "Dumb and Dumber" (that after-all does takes the honorably first place). Don't look for art here, cause you will not find any; Don't mind the plot, don't mind the acting, Don't mind anything about this film - just prepare yourself to waste one and a half hour of your life - take some snacks, sit down, relax and Laugh... (or cry).
Maybe there is a way of going back in time to when I was 10 years old and unwatching this movie but as I don't know what that is the most honest thing I can say about it is it may be a little on the dumb side but I still laugh every time I watch it.
I remember seeing a tv spot for this back when I was a kid. Of course now I'm thinking, "How did I not see this before now?!?" Damon Wayans and David Alan Grier are great in this spoof! 6.3 rating imo.
Seriously - this is one of the most bizarre films I have ever seen. What does it want to be? A super hero pastiche? Race issues comedy? Surreal wack-fun? Not sure how favourably it can be compared to other flicks such as Meteor Man or Brother From Another Planet. There are some pretty original jokes and situations, and some very unsubtle moments which still work. it held my interest for a while, but the tone seemed all over the place. Still it has Jason (George from Seinfeld, Duckman) in it.
