First off, the plot line in this movie is about as entertaining as watching a plant grow. We have your average American family (The Marshalls) living in your average American town, except for the fact that they have super heroes; Bronze Eagle, Warrior Woman, and Silver Charge. Real imaginative. Anyways without spoiling too much of this movie this moral is that you don't always need super powers to save the day. Yawn. With that said, we have some great B-list actors in this film that pull it through the running time. Sherman Hemsley "All in the Family" and "The Jeffersons"),(you may also remember him from that Nelly music video where he's 2 stepping in the ballpark) is hilarious as always, portraying the eccentric grandfather. Michael J. Pagan does a nice job at playing the dorky but cool (is that possible?) Warrior Eagle. Chris Marquette ("Joan of Arcadia" and "The Girl Next Door) does a great job at playing the always-funny best friend. However, some of the best acting in the film comes from TV commercial star Derek Lee ("Q-Bert", "Kohl's" and "Waffle Crisp Cereal"), as he plays the witty, unknowing, second-best friend. His part is small but single handedly almost validates a viewing of this movie alone. I don't know how many times i've rewinded my VHS just to watch him say "I Pick Amy" one more time. He does it with so much conviction it makes the viewer want to pick amy, and at the same time cry at the sheer brilliance of it all.Overall I recommend this movie to children, parents of children, and worst enemies.

That me and my friends were in tears laughing at it.One major, MAJOR problem I had with the movie was the actors, and how bland and unbelievable their script seemed. For example, in one scene, there is a woman trapped in a burning building, with no way for people to see her inside. Even so, there is a news crew, tons of civilians standing by and watching, a few fire trucks and a police squad. NONE of them were doing anything, even though they some how know there is a woman in side the flaming building. Super hero comes and saves her, and drops her off in the middle of the crowd of people. Later in the movie, "nobody saw where she went". NOBODY SAW HER? The super hero dropped her in a group of people! That's impossible!Another thing that bothered me was the story line. People are being controlled by a computer program that is just an "e" spinning around a globe while a voice talks to them. A spinning "e" and a voice cannot hypnotize a person into robbing a bank, like it does in this movie. In the same category, simple household tin foil renders all the superheros completely useless, they can't touch it, and if they are tied up in it, it apparently "sucks their power out", which is just plain stupid.The villains are apparently pretty dumb, too. They were convinced that a few kids popping bubble wrap above their heads were a police squad shooting at them from outside the building. Yeeeeeeah.If it wasn't for the completely ridiculous plot line (which, IMHO, completely ruined the movie), it wouldn't have been too bad.

This movie was okay, but it could have been better. It was a little short in my opinion, didn't really have in depth detail about their families & friends, but other than that, this film is fun and worth watching. I liked the music in this, and the way that the surrounding was so comforting. It was very neat in many different ways. The only thing that was a little unbelievable is besides the fact that the father can fly, is that the kids don't really look like 8th graders. On this, they look like 6th graders. But you know like in some movies people are always older than they really look. I really think that they should make a sequel to this. It would make the first one twice as popular and it would be something else fun to watch. I give this a 10/10 even with all of those concerns that I have about it. I think everyone should see it!

Before the review, a brief plot summary: The Marshalls are an average family in an ordinary American town with it's own superheroes, Bronze Eagle, Warrior Woman, and Silver Charge. What most people don't know is that Jim Marshall, his wife Judy, and their eldest son Adam are the town's heroes. Their young daughter Molly also has super-powers, mainly laser vision, but thirteen-year old Scott is nearing his fourteenth birthday, after which one cannot recieve superpowers. However, so as to not disapoint Dad (and their visitng grandpa, Steel Condor), he tricks the family into thinking he can fly and has superstrength. Meanwhile, the seemingly innocent "Earth Protectors" which are giving out CDs about the enviroment to the kids in Scott's class, may not have all the world's best intentions in mind.This film does sound silly and childish. Granted, it's not supposed to entertain adults or recieve an Oscar nomination. But it's really fairly original, showing us all superheroes' weakness: alluminum foil, which alters their structure. The special effects aren't that bad, but the filmmakers respect that and don't exagurate on them.The cast, while slightly forgettable (except for Sherman Hemsley of "All in the Family" and "The Jeffersons") aren't that bad at acting. It's not exactly a riveting potrayl, but it's satisfying. Derek Lee is irritating, but his part is small and not enough to ruin it. Michael J. Pagan does a nice job as Scott Marshall, who is dubbed Warrior Eagle by his parents and does a dorky job at rescuing a woman from a fire. Kevin Conolly was also interesting as the young criminal genious who uses "Earth Protectors" to control minds, against the will of Amy (Jamie Renee Smith), who wants to use the mind control to prevent waste and preserve the enviroment.Superhero fans might want to watch it for the fun references, i.e. Sherman Hemsley's character Steel Condor's grudge against Superman, Man of Steel, The Green Hornet visiting the Marshalls, etc. In fact, Mr. Fantastic and The Invisible Woman cameo at Scott's birthday party!Your kids will like it. Don't expect "Batman" or "Robocop", but if you're in the mood for some nice, doesn't-take-itself-seriously entertainment, you might wanna give it a shot, too.
