mystery men (1999)


"Invisible Boy. I think its time that you were seen."
In Champion City there exists a superhero, Captain Amazing (Greg Kinnear), who is so good that all the supervillans are in prison. With his popularity falling he hits on the idea of getting Casanova Frankenstein (Geoffrey Rush) released, knowing he will take up crime again. Giving Amazing the chance to defeat Frankenstein again and regain his popularity. Unfortunately Frankenstein is ahead of the game and captures Amazing. Champion City's only chance are the Mystery Men, a super team of not so super heroes, who are prone to get things wrong...
A fine example of a spoof adventure, with some fine comic turns from Paul Reubens, Ben Stiller and Janeane Garofalo amongst others including Tom Waits!!!
