Champion City has a fabulous superhero by the name of Captain Amazing (Greg Kinnear). Except he's kind of a jerk, but that's no matter. When he goes missing, it's up to a group of misfit superhero wannabes (headed by Ben Stiller as Mr. Furious) to save the city from the evil Casanova Frankenstein (Geoffrey Rush).
This movie is so fun and ridiculous. The Blue Raja (Hank Azaria) throws forks. The Bowler (Janeane Garofalo) throws a bowling ball with her dead father's skull inside. The Shoveler (William H. Macy), well, he hits people with a shovel. And the Spleen (Paul Reubens) farts. Really. Oh, and Tom Waits plays a weapons designer! It's amazing. The movie looks a lot like a music video (think Spice Girls in space) and everything is very over-the-top, but it all works. You just have to go with it. It's pretty underrated, and it might be stupid, but I absolutely love it.
It's a lot of fun and it's one of those movies that gets me giggling just thinking about it. Have a good time with this one, it's pure silliness.
