I Was a Teenage Superhero Sidekick (2015)

That was an excellent one.

i must have seen a different film!!

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

I saw this wonderful movie at a film festival, and wondered, why didn't I think of that?? It seemed like I was watching it in real time, these wonderful young actors and entertaining story, developing right in front of the audience. It had a sweet, comical well paced beat and unlike some movies today, kept my complete attention the whole time. It's better entertainment than my IPhone 6! At the end, the audience of over a hundred, maybe more clapped in approval, I can't wait till Hollywood "discovers" J Hanna! When I got home, I had to know more so I did a search for J Hanna, and found this on Wikipedia....Occupation Filmmaker, scriptwriter Years active 1998 - present Notable work I Was a Teenage Superhero Sidekick Awards Hollywood Reel Film Festival: Best Comedy J Hanna is an American film writer and director, best known for his work on the 2013 film 'I Was a Teenage Superhero Sidekick,' screened at the 2015 Boston Sci-Fi Film Festival.[1] The film was favorably reviewed in March, 2015 by Jay Seaver at efilmcritic.com, concluding the film is "charming enough to be a fun little movie." [2] Hanna's work was also screened at the Hollywood Reel Independent Film Festival,[3] where it won the award for Best Comedy Film. [4]What a wonderful film, congrats to all who made this film possible!

J Hanna's approach to the super hero genre was both extremely creative and smart. The use of animation and a story line that highlighted the adventures of the side kicks (instead of the super heros themselves) proved that Hanna is an able director and writer.With a likable cast, Hanna creates a world that's both incredibly real and yet somehow off kilter. I was a Teenage Super Hero Sidekick is a charming movie for the whole family.I look forward to seeing more of Hanna's films as his budgets and scripts grow from the world of super low budget independents to studio films.Well done!

Super cute and creative way to look at superheroes... Less tent-pole, more back- story... Amazing what J Hanna did on a low budget indie. If you go back to story telling, you can do a super hero movie without big budget effects. Definitely seems like a passion project where blood, sweat and tears were put into it. My favorite was the Frog King played by Andre Antwan who added a definite comedic element to the story. Barrett Mitchell gives a charming turn as Larry/Kid Dynamic who falls for a girl who hates superheroes. But I guess you would too if one of them destroyed your families home. Also fun to see the locations that were used that are in the town that I live. Overall, well done!

I had the pleasure of seeing "I Was a Teenage Superhero Sidekick" at a festival screening and I really enjoyed it. The indie is a character study set in a world of superheroes.Larry used to be the sidekick for this world's Superman, but after a bad falling out with his mentor, he left the world of superhero-ing behind. Now he struggles to get through basic day to day stuff. He befriends an anti-superhero protester and it makes him reevaluate his life.One of my favorite aspects of the flick was that the world was clearly established within moments of the movie beginning. This is a world with heroes and villains. People with powers that do everyday things. The movie is well directed with a lighthearted vibe and a clear dramatic arc. The cast is likable and I was rooting for Larry to step up. There are cutaway animated sequences used to flashback to key moments in Larry's superhero career that look fantastic and set an awesome tone. I would love to watch an animated spin off of Larry's years as Kid Dynamic.I recommend this to anyone that wants to see a different side of superheroes.
