Review of Superhero Movie (2008) by James M — 15 Apr 2014

Ricky Riker (Drake Bell) is a typical teenager, except that his luck is worse then most. Basically, he's a loser. He's been in love with beautiful Jill (Sara Paxton) for years, but is sure she doesn't know he exists. Even his techie best friend, Trey (Kevin Hart), is willing to throw him over for another clique. But Rick's life changes dramatically when a genetically enhanced dragonfly bites him during a school field trip. In a flash, he becomes the Dragonfly. He can scale buildings, and has immense strength - though he's still a klutz. Rick isn't sure he has what it takes to be a superhero, but it's up to him to save the city from the villainous Hourglass (Christopher McDonald).

Also stars Leslie Nielsen, Brent Spiner, Jeffrey Tambor, Ryan Hansen, Robert Hays, Nicole Sullivan, Marion Ross and Pamela Anderson.

Directed by Craig Mazin.
