SuperBob (2015)

As Good As It Gets

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

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.

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.

Watching this movie, which made me sore from laughing, I was struck by a few things Monty Python. First, the "Bicycle Repairman" skit, where the hero in a world of Supermen is a meek bicycle repairman, who is always ready with his trusty tool kit to help stranded bicyclist's everywhere, within walking distance, of course. Bob's character never wavers from the always helpful, humble, and nervously bumbling super goof that makes his character more likable, and like the bicycle repairman of Monty Python lore, he does his best to fit in and lend a hand. Second, I drew a big similarity between the "Mr Neutron" sketch and a scene near the end, when every agency on the planet over-reacted to a very average guy(or a bit less than average) wanting to be left alone to pursue his vision of happiness, and not wanting to fill out any more "effing" forms. That aside, this was quite the refreshing sleeper hit that proves that humor doesn't have to be over the top to be funny. It is a bit slow in parts, but then again, so is Bob.

A low budget superhero romance movie that is actually endearing and highly watchable. Maybe it's the awkward interactions dealing with a awkward superhero, but I enjoyed watching the characters and the direction of this low budget movie. So the plot is about a postman that gains super powers after getting hit by a meteor. But the thing is, the guy is super socially awkward but a very likable and friendly guy. So the movie is about him dealing with his average daily life despite him being super awkward and having super powers. The thing is, socially awkward people or people that have trouble interacting with someone they really like or people that are a bit of a introvert will probably find the character Bob to be relatable. He is far from being the suave, cool and charming Batman/James Bond type of hero. Despite the awkward comedic elements that is the main driving force of this movie. Where you can have the looks or the money or the most genuine and good intentions, but just has a difficult time with the woman or the man you have a big liking to. If your an audience member that just wants to see some superhero action, you will leave disappointed. They just didn't have the budget for that. But if you want a movie with likable protagonist and endearing awkward humor you might enjoy this one. This movie sort of reminded me of the movie "Hancock" in some ways, but I liked this one more. Despite the limited budget and the very short running time. It's actually a enjoyable independent film that is worth a watch.7.1/10
