Review: Ewan McDonald
Captain Amazing (Greg Kinnear) is the top-rated superhero in the comic-book town of Champion City, but the sponsors of his superhero suit are losing interest because his adventures are lame.
Captain Amazing and his publicist decide to spring his enemy, Casanova Frankenstein (Geoffrey Rush), from jail to improve the quality of Amazing's exploits and therefore his ratings.
Unfortunately Frankenstein is smart and Amazing is (a) dumb and (b) soon captured by the bad guy. His mates gang up to rescue him: the Blue Raja (Hank Azaria), Mr Furious (Ben Stiller), the Shoveler (William H. Macy), the Spleen (Paul Reubens), the Bowler (Janeane Garofolo).
Yep, those are quite big Hollywood names. Yep, I'm wondering, too.
