Massively Over Rated

Rating: 4/10 (9 May 2011)

This movie is hardly an 8/10 title as rated here on IMDb. I thought the plot was conflicted between lame comedy and sappy drama which was misplaced and inappropriate. Inconsistent moods alternated throughout the movie as we are asked to sympathize with the main character's loss of his dear mother while alternately laughing at the silly premise of his desire to become a super hero. The made for TV plot includes a battle with mafia drug dealers and a randomly inserted gun toting father-daughter duo which was shallow and made little sense. Add to this the thin racial subplots and indirect implications which the director had not the courage to place directly on screen. Laughs were sparse and clever dialog absent. The whole exercise is an MTV mentality simple minded cartoon for liberal minded kids and I would not waste my money if I were you.
