Mystery Men
A group of inept amateur superheroes must try to save the day when a supervillian threatens to destroy a major superhero and the city. The only problem is that their strange powers, silverware hurling, bowling, shovel skills, incompetent invisibility and deadly flatulence, aren't doing them any favors.

Witty comic-book story is edgy, with lots of potty humor.

Usher's amiable spoof of superhero movies takes a brave stab at rewriting the mythology from the inside out, with lots of witty, mildly subversive stuff.

Even with its super cast, the slow-moving 'Mystery Men' falters in its attempt to spoof comic book heroes.

The characters have been designed to make fun of themselves, disguising the craft of writer Neil Cuthbert and director Kinka Usher in getting us to laugh at them.

Mystery Men is like its hapless heroes. It's a wannabe that has the best intentions -- including a pronounced anti-gun stance -- but none of the knack it takes to save the day, or itself.

It is good that the film has charm, for after a certain point it doesn't necessarily have anything else.

An instant cult comedy that doesn't walk or talk like anything else out there.

Surprisingly, this spoof's heart is genuinely warm.

Fails to come up with worthy gags and one-liners for the able cast.
