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.

    Saw it in theater when it came in 1999 or so and loved it. Rewatching comedies often disappoints but this held up well even on my iPhone. William Macy’s non-campy deadpan earnestness functions like a keel on the blustery high seas of silliness, to imitate something Ben Stiller’s character might say. Stiller’s Mr Furious sometimes tells instead of shows but his hulk parodies are worth it. The Bowler’s commanding wit and brief lapses into insane half-dialogs with her bowling-ball-encrusted father’s skull refuel the whole thing. I suspect Jeneane Garofalo wrote or improvised her lines because she seems so natural amid the camp. Izzard, Reubens, Rush, Waits — great stuff. Cult followers of real comics this might feel dissed but that’s not my problem.

    This is one funny movie! From start to finish! Every character has there moments. Very strong cast. A must for anybody who enjoys a light hearted comedy.

    Not the best of the many wannabe-superhero movies out there. I kept rooting for it to get better but it didn't. It's got a lot of good elements. A fun premise, several good characters, and a charming comic-book look and attitude. They just don't come together well enough. It gets off to a hopeful start and then the story just peters away and much time gets frittered. Needed a stronger script and directing. As others have said, it's a likable but ultimately failed mess.
  • Highly recommended.

    This movie is clever, fun to watch, and even hilarious at times! But there are more than enough dull moments, the story's a mess, and it could've been so much more. Funny and clever and exciting yet long and dull and messy! It's an uneven mixed mess of fun and bleh.
  • Sloppy Sloppy!!!
