Comedy: The Specials

The Specials (2000)

James Gunn wrote and co-starred in this movie about a few days in the life of the "7th Best Superhero Team" in the world. James Gunn is probably most famous for being Jenna Fischer's soon to be ex-hubby. Ms. Beesley does make a brief appearance as a star struck buxom college girl, and has a pretty good line as well.

The movie itself wasn't as bad as I'd thought it would be. It was actually quite funny. The head of the group, played by Thomas Haden Church, sees his wife, Mrs. Indestructible, getting destructed by The Weevil in the back seat of his car. The rest of the movie takes the viewer through the night and days after The Strobe (Church), publicly disbands the group.

There's not that many special effects going on in this movie, since it's much more focused on the relationships the characters have with each other. Jamie Kennedy, Rob Lowe, and Judy Greer round out the "all-star cast," and there's alot of swearing going on. Don't watch it with your kids, but what the fuck do I know? I was raised by a mother fucking italian truck driver!

This movie did have it's moments, so I'll say:

it was okay
