Description

The hippest cast in history has united to become the funniest superhero team ever. Ben Stiller, Janeane Garofalo, Hank Azaria, William H. Macy, Greg Kinnear, Geoffrey Rush and Paul Reubens join forces in this wild, funny and thoroughly original misadventure. When Captain Amazing, Champion City's legendary superhero, falls into the hands of the evil madman Casanova Frankenstein and his disco-dancing henchmen, there's suddenly a chance for the aspiring superheroes to show what they can do. They're the Mystery Men...a ragtag team of superhero wannabes featuring: Mr. Furious, whose power comes from his boundless rage; The Shoveler, a father who shovels "better than anyone"; The Blue Raja, a fork-flinging mama's boy; The Bowler, who fights crime with the help of her father's skull; The Spleen, whose power is pure flatulence; Invisible Boy, who's only invisible when no one's watching and The Sphinx, a cliche-spewing philosopher. With its outrageous adventure, incredible cast and hip alternative humor, Mystery Men is so irresistibly funny and appealing, seeing it just once will never be enough.

    This film is number one! All others are number two, or lower. This film will give you a quote for any occasion.

    Endearing and funny.A superb cast that clearly had a lot of fun on the set.It's good to see great actors let loose. Hank Azaria was,as ever,pitch perfect.Shame that we don't see him so often on the silver screen. He's a really funny bloke and I bet there is more to come for him in serious drama.

    This movie has NO funny lines at all!!!! I cannot recall ANY jokes from it as there wasn't any and i wouldn't have thought anyone in the world would give it more than 2 0r 3*s. DO NOT BUY THIS FILM FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR OWN MONEY! Seriously this is absolutly terrible.

    This film (and I'm being extremely generous here by calling it a film) rates as one of the 10 worst films I've ever seen. When I go to the movies and it's awful, I simply walk out--no point in throwing good tiime after bad money. Unfortunately, such was not the case; I read all of the reviewers–4 at the time who gave it 5 (!!!) stars, so I bought it. There's nothing in this film that makes it worth paying any more than £0.99 to watch. It's disturbing that I have wasted 1.69 GB of disk space for this stinker. Maybe this was meant to be the ultimate spoof on the superhero genre; Mel Brooks defined the "spoof-on-genre" genre of comedy with Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein, then blew it on Spaceballs--I didn't last 10 minutes with that painful exercise. Reasons it stinks: Bad acting; juvenile script (example, Oh Yeah? Yeah! Oh YEAH?? YEAH!! jokes), low budget special effects--I could go on and on; I am so not surprised this tanked at the box office. If you feel compelled to watch, PLEASE rent it--you may even regret that

    I have to agree with all the reviews so far, this is a movie of sheer genius. Great performances from a stellar cast. Geoffrey Rush can rarely put a foot wrong in any movie, and William H Macy is never bad on screen, add to that the likes of Stiller, Azaria, et al. The movie has some memorable lines and scenes. Too bad a sequel never arose! Get it and you won't be disappointed!
