    Hopeless optimist uplifts New York City

    A 2 bit actor turns his part time job of hyping a movie into becoming a public defender, of sorts. His daring exploits unite the community and provide the mayor with a political boost. Plus, the hero finds love along the way. Nice, easy little production.

    Thought about this movie today and watched again years later

    I watched this movie when I was like six. I loved it then. I was thinking about it today and decided to rent it. I have no idea why I thought of it. Just out of the blue. But it really holds up well. It is a fun little film and John Ritter and Ann Archer are really marvelous. I highly recommend it. The film is really remarkable on a lot of levels.

    Ritter charms

    Steve Nichols (John Ritter) is a struggling New York actor. PR man Walter Reeves (Bert Convy) hires him and others to dress up as Captain Avenger to promote a cheesy superhero movie. Steve stops a robbery at a grocery store which becomes local news. Reeves is working to re-elect the mayor and sees value in a superhero making the citizens feel good. He searches to find which of the 62 actors he hired is the Captain Avenger hero. Steve has a crush on his neighbor Jolene Marsh (Anne Archer) who slowly takes a liking to his non-stop flirting.

    John Ritter is a really likable actor. His charming personality is mostly what this movie has to offer. The rest is functional but not much more. Anne Archer is fine but the movie needs a better villain. It is a superhero movie after all. The plot lacks tension. This all boils down to Ritter being such a nice charming guy.

    Doesn't go as far with its premise as it could've, but John Ritter's good natured simplicity and strong chemistry between the leads make it impossible to dislike

    Steve Nichols (John Ritter) is a struggling New York City actor who unable to get his "break" moonlights as a cab driver and dressing up in costume as Captain Avenger to promote the B-level film of the same name. On his way home one evening stopping at grocery store for milk, two thugs attempt a robbery and Steve still in costume gets the drop on them saving the store owner and his wife. The story takes New York City by storm with the Captain Avenger movie seeing record business and many in the media and publicity circuit looking to capitalize including the struggling incumbent mayor. Steve's neighbor, Jolene Walsh (Anne Archer) eventually discovers his secret and assists him in what ways she can despite not completely approving of Steve's playing "hero", and the two begin a friendship and possible romance.

    Released in 1980, Hero at Large was released at the height of Three's Company's popularity. While John Ritter had become a popular staple of TV, he often struggling with headlining features with his films subjected to rather middling responses. Hero at Large did okay in its quiet February release slot, with contemporary views being very middle of the road and the majority of the film's exposure coming from airings on cable TV. In the years since it's release, Hero at Large has seen something of a resurgence in interest thanks to the prevalence of superhero themed comedies with entries such as Kick-Ass, Super, Defendor, and others. Hero at Large doesn't go as far with its premise as it could've, but as a prototype for this kind of film built around the framework of a romantic comedy it's pretty easy viewing.

    John Ritter is what sells the movie. Hero at Large at its core takes the traditional trappings of seen in the glut of vigilante films of the 70s and 80s and files down their rougher edges filtering them through the lens of the goofy optimistic sincerity of the Richard Donner/Christopher Reeve Superman films. Ritter is just an absurd level of nice and pleasant in the lead which makes him the perfect person for this role. Steve isn't interested in fame or glory and only does his amateur super heroics because he wants to do good. Anne Archer is also good playing the love interest Jolene Walsh who contrasts with Steve's outlandish likability and altruism embodying a more cynical and grounded persona. The scenes of them interacting together are filled with charm going from chance roommates to something more quite naturally. The romance is definitely the strongest part as the superhero section is rather scant.

    While there are scenes of Steve engaging in superhero shenanigans, they're very brief save for a scene in the climax. There are sequences where we see hints of the larger scale of events inspired by Steve's actions such as a round table panel discussion show with notable pop psychologist Joyce Brothers playing herself espousing the virtues of Steve's outings as Captain Avenger, but this side of the movie feels underdeveloped with a rather low frills take on the material as there's really only five (though technically three) scenes where we see Steve in proper action. There's also a subplot with an unpopular mayoral incumbent wishing to utilize the Captain Avenger popularity to prop up his own limping campaign, but it doesn't really go anywhere save for leading to Steve's third act nadir.

    Hero at Large is basically the prototype for the Superhero comedy subgenre and as a prototype you can definitely see the appeal and promise, but not much polish on the delivery. While the superhero aspect is played up in the marketing of the movie, Hero at Large is without question first and foremost a romantic comedy, and as a romantic comedy it has everything it needs with two solid leads, engaging chemistry, and a gentle but likable sense of humor. Hero at Large is the kind of movie that's nigh impossible to dislike and makes for a cute and pleasant little film.

    Nearly-large laughs will result for most at a viewing, romcom fans especially

    Steve (John Ritter) is a struggling Manhattan actor with a string of part time jobs to help make the rent. Even then, its a struggle, although his apartment is modest at best. One day, he gets a gig as a film promoter. The job calls for him, as well as two dozen other lads, to dress as a superhero, Captain Avenger, and stir up interest around the theater where the movie will premiere. On the way home, Steve's still in costume, half covered with a jacket, when he stops at a local carryout for milk. Its near closing time but the elderly couple let him in. Following Steve, unfortunately, is a would-be robber, who gallops in the door. Disappearing around a corner, Steve comes back as the masked crusader and scares the thief away. The couple is most grateful. The next day, as Steve ponders if he can help someone else in "distress", he gets a look at his new female neighbor, Ms. Marsh (Anne Archer). Wow, is she classy and pretty! From day one, the handsome, engaging actor is in hot pursuit, even though Ms. Marsh does not encourage his attentions. Meanwhile, news of Steve's heroism at the carryout reaches the film's producer (Bert Convy) and he asks to Steve to help "stage" more rescues to increase the box office takes. Will Steve get a real job and win the heart of his neighbor? This is a nice little film with semi-large laughs for the romcom crowd or fans of Ritter. Our John does a fine job, as does the beautiful Archer and the rest of the crew. Yes, the sets, costumes, and amenities are merely average but the script has some clever and inspiring moments while the direction is lively. Do look for Hero, romance-and-comedy fans. You will be sweetly entertained.

      A young Kevin Bacon has a brief part as one of the teenagers at the beginning of the movie who gives Captain Avenger a hard time.
    • Erros de gravação
      As Steve clearly sits in his cab obviously listening to a portable police scanner, he is clearly still moving the tuner (clearly showing needle movement) while the dispatcher can be clearly heard giving the information about the obviously fleeing criminals.
