Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

SuperBob (2015)

Yes, Bob's a superhero, but there's nothing special about him otherwise. He works for the British government (except for Tuesdays, which is his day off), he's got a mother in a care home, a sassy cleaner comes in a couple of times a week, and there's a pretty girl he's hoping to take out sometime soon.

The funniest bits here are observations about government red tape and the entitled attitude of the United States. The rest of it is one joke hammered to death: he might be super but he's fairly boring otherwise. Natalia Tena injects all the charm she can, but comes up short.
