Movie synopsis

Director Craig Mazin's self-mocking debut film follows the members of the Specials, "America's seventh best superhero team," documenting the drama of their pathetic daily lives. Possessing more flaws than superhuman powers, the egomanical Strobe (Thomas Haden Church) and his misfit group--including the Weevil (Rob Lowe), Amok (Jamie Kennedy), Ms. Indestructible (Paget Brewster), Deadly Girl (Judy Greer), Minute Man (James Gunn), and new recruit Nightbird (Jordan Ladd)--must contend with their sub-par status as they fight amongst themselves. However, hope for some sort of dignity arrives when a toy manufacturer agrees to produce action figures of the team. Will the toy company save the Specials? Will the figures even look like the heroes? Tune into THE SPECIALS to find out....

Very funny!

Created: 11/06/08
I love entertaining movies where I don't have to think. Don't get me wrong, I also like documentaries and the like, but every now and then it's great to watch a funny movie with no point. This is that movie.

The characters a funny, lovable and entertaining. The writing and acting is excellent. Wait until you see the karoke scene in the bar, it will have you rolling out of your chair.

Cheers, gj
