'Superhero Movie'

DVD Release Date: July 8, 2008

By Ivana Redwine, About.com Guide

Length: 85 minutes
MPAA Rating: PG-13 for crude and sexual content, comic violence, drug references and language

This is a parody of superhero films, particularly Spider-Man, but there are also references to Batman, X-Men and Fantastic Four. The central character is Rick Riker (Nickelodeon's Drake Bell), a weakling who gets bitten by a genetically altered insect while on a school field trip. Soon he can climb walls and move about with incredible agility, and he dons a costume to become Dragonfly, who comes to the aid of the people of Empire City. There's a pretty girl (Sara Paxton) to win and a dastardly villain to fight. The cast includes Leslie Nielsen and a Tom Cruise impersonator.
