SuperBob (2015)
7/10
Amusing romance movie with super powers
21 October 2015
Warning: Spoilers
A low budget superhero romance movie that is actually endearing and highly watchable. Maybe it's the awkward interactions dealing with a awkward superhero, but I enjoyed watching the characters and the direction of this low budget movie. So the plot is about a postman that gains super powers after getting hit by a meteor. But the thing is, the guy is super socially awkward but a very likable and friendly guy. So the movie is about him dealing with his average daily life despite him being super awkward and having super powers. The thing is, socially awkward people or people that have trouble interacting with someone they really like or people that are a bit of a introvert will probably find the character Bob to be relatable. He is far from being the suave, cool and charming Batman/James Bond type of hero. Despite the awkward comedic elements that is the main driving force of this movie. Where you can have the looks or the money or the most genuine and good intentions, but just has a difficult time with the woman or the man you have a big liking to. If your an audience member that just wants to see some superhero action, you will leave disappointed. They just didn't have the budget for that. But if you want a movie with likable protagonist and endearing awkward humor you might enjoy this one. This movie sort of reminded me of the movie "Hancock" in some ways, but I liked this one more. Despite the limited budget and the very short running time. It's actually a enjoyable independent film that is worth a watch.
