Superhero Movie parodies everything from the X-Men, Fantastic Four and in particularly, Spiderman. Our story centers around the geeky high school student Rick Riker (Drake Bell), who acquires superhuman strength after being bitten by a genetically alternated dragonfly on a field trip. From there he uses his powers for good with often semi-funny results. Pamela Anderson, Jeffrey Tambor, Sarah Paxton and Tracy Morgan are all around for the ride.

Now available in a special extended edition on DVD, Superhero the movie has a slew of special features as well. First up is the feature commentary by the creative team behind the film. I’m always a big fan of commentary especiall if it’s by the people behind the scenes. This has everyone from the director/writer and the producers and is worth listening.

In addition we have an alternate ending and deleted scenes. The scenes are semi amusing but mostly understandable why they were cut from the final film. Sometimes deleted scenes from comedies are as hilarious as the film and sometimes they are not, these are not.

The other extras include a short feature on meeting the cast, a featurette on the art of spoofing and a theatrical trailer.

These movies cater to a certain audience and either you are a fan or not. Superhero Movie has it’s moments but they have done better in the past with the Scary Movie franchise. Still, sometimes we just want to watch something silly and mindless and this certainly fits in that category.
