Famous superheroes take care of adult problems, but children also have their superheroes, always ready to help solve their dilemmas. Anonymous heroes may be closer than we think, and in this fun movie, they will be taken back.
What a fun film, starting with a great premise - superheroes for kids that tackle kid needs. The child actors are adorable and on target. Nice camera work; great close-ups of the kids' faces and their hands as they draw. Miguel Cortes, who plays the superhero, is terrific. It's funny that we always see him eating, but he is always ready to come to the rescue of the other kids, whether it's to cook a meal, retrieve a ball, help clean up a room or play a game with someone. Good choices for locations; good backgrounds and animation. Nice live action shots. My favorite scene is when the superhero retrieves the soccer ball and escapes from the barking dogs - by a hair. When one girl's parents fight, superhero comes to help her prepare a romantic dinner for them. I love seeing the mom come home from the salon and smiling when she sees the dinner table all prepared. I love the surprise ending...
The film's message is that superheroes come in all shapes, sizes and abilities. Not every superhero looks like Spider-man!
I give Superheroes 4.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 5 to 12, plus adults. By Julie S., KIDS FIRST!
