Zusammenfassung: Adolescent fantasy meets sophomoric humor in the latest cuisinart comedy, "Superhero Movie". The story of how frustrated loser Rick Riker (Drake Bell of "Drake & Josh") becomes the superpowered Dragonfly is largely poking fun at "Spider-Man", but there are a handful of digs at "X-Men", "Fantastic Four", and other Marvel Comics superhuman flicks. What's disappointing is how few of the jokes are specific to the genre--the abundance of gags about urine, feces, horniness, and especially flatulence (long, drawn-out gags about flatulence) could have been shoehorned into a parody of pretty much anything. The strong point of "Superhero Movie" is the above-average cast; while there are the obligatory cameos by the likes of Pamela Anderson, the cast is mostly filled out with actual actors like Marion Ross ("Happy Days"), Christopher McDonald ("Thelma & Louise"), Brent Spiner ("Star Trek: The Next Generation"), Jeffrey Tambor ("Arrested Development"), and Leslie Nielsen, who trots out his trademark deadpan one more time. As Dragonfly's love interest, Sara Paxton ("Aquamarine") does a flawless and subtle imitation of Kirsten Dunst's sultry vocal mannerisms. And for fans of "Airplane!" (the movie that started the whole everything-but-the-kitchen-sink genre of comedy), there's an appropriate cameo by Robert Hays as Rick Riker's father. "Superhero" is a step above such recent tripe as "Date Movie" and "Meet the Spartans"... but sadly, that's not saying much. "--Bret Fetzer"
