Mystery Men (1999, Dir. Kinka Usher)

When Captain Amazing is kidnapped by Casanova Frankenstein a group of superheroes combine together to create a plan. But these aren't normal superheroes. They are individuals who are not good enough to be real superheroes. Now, the group who include such heroes as Mr. Furious, The Shoveller and The Blue Raja must put all the powers together to save everyone they know and love.

The film 'Mystery Men' has one of the best combination of cast in a comedy film. The films contains amazing talent from the likes of Ben Stiller, Hank Azaria, William H. Macy, Geoffrey Rush and Eddie Izzard. And thats only a few of the talented names whose comedic performances appear in the film. The movie is not your typical superhero movie and really gives some wonderful created characters. The action is based more on the characters comedic powers, but is still very entertaining. As well as having fun characters and a good story, the film also provides beautiful sets and a wonderful disco soundtrack. 'Mystery Men' is one of those comedy films which just don't get much recognition and must be watched.
