After watching the trailer I thought this was going to be the typical crap with all the cool shots in the trailer. The second statement is true. The first one isn't.
I'm a regular rater and this is probably my first review. I feel the urge to write a positive review because this is the first time I've seen something different in a while. And it's also an independent production. It needs to be known. Superbob rocks.
This is what Hancock wished to be. This movie has a real plot and real characters. For punches watch a DC/Marvel one. For story watch this. It's a simple one, very heartfelt and enjoyable.

I tried. I can laugh and almost anything. No humour here. Lucky to get a chuckle. Just cringy.
This is such a funny movie. This is the British take on Hancock. I will definitely recommend this movie to others.
The idea of a mild-manner postman becoming a superhero and taking all of his personality flaws with him makes for a great story. Normally we think that with the extra powers confidence will come along with it but that is not the case for Bob. Bob can't even get a date and he is the personal jar opener for a unionized security guard charged to protect Bob's life.
The "girl-friend" is stereotypical "Colombian" but she balances the "loser" persona of Bob.
Cute and funny a must see movie for the flip side of Marvel and DC characters.

Finally had an opportunity to enjoy this film! (Special thanks to The Divine Ms. Jayde's review on Films To Be Buried With for hyping it up)
Brett Goldstein is great as the good hearted and subtly lonely hero which is likely exactly how a regular guy hit by a meteor and turned superhero would be.
Catherine Tate as the hard nosed boss never fails to deliver dry humored one liners. (A stark contrast from Donna Noble but still a pleasure to watch)
I laughed, I had a little cry, I got the warm and fuzzies. Goldstein could literally read the back of a crisps bag and I'd probably find it fascinating. Cannot say enough about how much I treasure that man and his creativity.
If you're here for Roy Kent, you aren't going to find him. But you will find a somewhat gooey centered man who can fly. What's not to like? Watch this film!

It's a cute film which is often quite witty and humorous. I really enjoyed it. The lead actor is an absolute delight.
