The initial sighting of celebs in their costumes is fun, the acting is energetic, and there are some clever moments, especially when the film directly spoofs the superhero genre. Take Greg Kinnear's Captain Amazing, who looks just like his alter ego, yet no one can put two and two together. It's too bad that Captain Amazing has to be kidnapped so early on -- as the arrogant all-American, corporate-sponsored, legitimate superhero, he's the film's best character. After he's captured and the Mystery Men set out on a rescue mission, the film becomes interminable -- just like the list of other stars here: Hank Azaria, Claire Forlani, Eddie Izzard, Kel Mitchell, Pras, Wes Studi, and Geoffrey Rush as the arch-villain Casanova Frankenstein.
