I saw the trailer and thought, "Oh, this looks fun."
I was wrong. It was really boring. I didn't care about any of the characters. The extremely limited super hero scenes were super cheap looking. I enjoyed the 70s aesthetics but that wasn't enough to carry the film. Especially considering that most of the movie took place in one room.
A lot of the reviews here feel the need to mention "The Daily Wire" being involved with this movie. That should neither be a pro nor a con. This movie sucked, and it doesn't matter who made it or why. If you like watching spoiled children complain about how much of a douche their father is (and he is), you'll love this movie. Because that's all it is. Anyone who gave this movie a 10 is lying.

Very odd, weird, interesting movie. This is something much different than we are used to seeing. Its a 'Super Hero" movie, but not really. Its more about the family of the super hero's.
Without giving any of the story away, this is more about the family of the super hero's than any action. So if you are thinking bombs and explosions etc, ain't happening.
This is a slower movie about the characters, not the action.
I would not be happy paying to see this in a theater, but was amused seeing it at home for free. Accept it for what it is and enjoy a movie based in the 60's early 70's and get your popcorn, relax and enjoy.
Funny, when the main character is talking on the phone, you can see the phone number and its for LA... and why is this rated R?? There was nothing to make this even a PG-13.. more like a PG movie.

I was looking forward it. Trailer implied comedy, drama and action. Yet, there's very little comedy, no action and a sad drama. Poor boring story. 0 character development. The most likeable character is the fat security guard. Couldn't care less about the rest.
The movie felt as a theater production play and was an amateur one too. This could've been amazing with a few simple addition to the story, yet as is, this is 3/10 and I am being generous by giving it 3/10, which all goes to the cast.

Some movies don't really take off and don't really go anywhere, it's like the director is experimenting or thinks all their ideas are so cool or so cute... not!
Cary Elwes is one of those guys that everytime you see him in something you ask yourself, "I love this guy, why don't I see him in more stuff?" That definitely applies here. Though the movie itself is fairly awful, it may be worth checking out just to watch Elwes. Director Jon McDonald misses bigtime with his sophomore outing in a very poor, all style and no substance movie that might be excellent for all audiences, content wise, but I doubt anyone would stick around past the first half hour to see how it ends. The hubris for an inexperienced director to try such an ambitious project from the super hero genre with such a small budget was where things first went wrong. McDonald tries to make up for it with cool photography and other tricks, borrowing styles from the likes Wes Anderson, but the end result only underscores how bad the script is (written by the director, naturally). There is no story to follow, no character development, no amazing special effects, and much more (less?). Outside of Elwes, nobody in the cast does anything worth watching. In fact, the only other character I found at all interesting was a fat security guard that only had a few lines. I gave this movie 4 stars because of Elwes, otherwise it would get a 3.
