MPAA RATING: PG-13 for crude and sexual content, comic violence, drug references and language
Starring Drake Bell, Sara Paxton, Christopher McDonald, Pamela Anderson, Tracy Morgan, Regina Hall, Craig Bierko, and Leslie Nielsen
How many superheroes does it take to save the world? The creators of The Naked Gun and Scary Movie answer this question in hysterical David Zucker fashion with the uproarious comedy Superhero Movie. Meet Rick Riker. He's young, he's cool, and he's got superpowers. Now, if he only knew how to use them... But the world is in danger, and no one is safe when Zucker and the gang--headed by the hilarious cast of Drake Bell, Leslie Nielsen, Tracy Morgan, Pamela Anderson, Regina Hall, and many others--take aim at some of the biggest blockbusters of our time, including Spider-Man, Batman, X-Men, and Fantastic Four, to name a few. On March 28, learning to fly, spinning a web, and busting a gut has never been this much fun. (The Weinstein Company)

I thought this movie was supposed to be funny, but i wasn't laughing. i thought it was boring and a waste of time and money, please save yourself the anguish and go see something else, anything else!
Rudy S. gave it a0:
Bad. Just bad. This may be the least funny movie in the "parody movie" series, that has really outlived it's welcome.
Ben gave it a4:
Had a couple of genuinely funny gags but a lot of tasteless ones. Could have deviated from the Spiderman storyline just a little bit... Pretty forgettable all up.
Clint H. gave it a5:
This film had better potential, but writer-director Craig Mazin believes that good comedy is only sex jokes, fart jokes, poop jokes, pop culture and internet references are the way to go. Scattershot satire is only good until the middle of the movie. Better than Epic Movie, though.
Jay H. gave it a6:
Okay, it's no classic comedy, but it did make me laugh. The cast is good, it has a funny premise. I enjoyed it. Cleverly written at times.
Sue J. gave it a0:
We took our 9 and 11 year old to see this. It was shocking. We couldn't believe it was a 12a. We were totally misled by the title and rating. The film sensors have obviously lost the plot! Even if was an 18 who wants to see a woman with 2 tampax shoved up her nose. Total trash not suitable for any normal person to view let alone children.
Joey K. gave it a4:
Not nearly as bad as I expected. Cinematically, it's horrid. Satirically, it's uninspired. Most of the jokes worked on some level, even if it was immaturity, and only a few gags were terrible. The real surprise was that there were a couple of genuinely clever and funny jokes in there. This movie doesn't do anything to recover the reputation of gag based satires, but it succeeded just enough to be passable.
