Mystery Men: How Dumb Can You Get?Based on the Dark Horse comic, seven lame would-be superheroes try to save Champion City's real superhero Captain Amazing (Greg Kinnear). Geoffrey Rush plays the evil villain Casanova Frankenstein.The Mystery Men are social misfits with super talents that no-one in their right mind would want. The premise and the characters seem to be the result of a one-upmanship of idiocy. How dumb can a talent be? What is the silliest weapon?

The humour is more smart-ass than clever, far from witty, and not providing any kind of insight, which a satire should provide. A difficult way to pass the time. |
