Enough Roids can make you do anything

A natural blend of Naked Gun and Scary Movies humor is not as bad as everyone would think. If you're a fan of these types of movies then you would be delighted to see them once again on the big screen. Heading the main cast is Drake Bell who has a natural neck for comedy and did absolute justice to the Dragonfly character in a non-cheap way. It’s also real nice to see Leslie Nielsen back to doing what he does best, slapstick humor. I kind of missed the old days where I laugh my pants off when he played Dracula with Mel Brooks. Supporting actors such as Tracy Morgan, Jeff Tambor and that guy from Happy Gilmore also rack up some very interesting comedic antics. Rip-off movies such as this could not have succeeded without that crucial element of timing. As we all know timing is everything …

Superhero Movie (2008)

In 1938 America was introduced to Superman. Ever since then, people have been inspired by superheroes to do the right thing. Now, 70 years later, the world is introduced to a new superhero. But this is no ordinary superhero; he's a superhero making fun of other superheroes, and he's known simply as Dragonfly.
In "Superhero Movie," we get another dose of new-age David Zucker work, complete with unfunny pop culture references and hit-or-miss slapstick. This time we follow Rick Riker, played by Drake Bell, who is bitten by a radioactive firefly and gains superpowers. After a bunch of cameos, he decides to become a superhero and fight the forces of evil. Unfortunately, he's a hazard to himself and others, so he's not really much help.
This film proves just how many jokes you can fit …
