Superheroes

This one traces the phenomenon of real people dressing up capes and costumes and acting as real-life superheroes on the streets of their cities. 95% of this movie is an unintentionally hilarious train wreck with one "superhero" demonstrating his devastating fight technique in a scene that could be an outtake from Napoleon Dynamite. Another guy drives around with a cooler in the back of his van with popsicles in it - in case, you know, he runs into kids that will take treats from a stranger at night. And beer. He wanders around and then comes back to his van and drinks beer. Other heroes are less pathetic, with one guy patrolling Washington Square Park with a cameraman, filming drug transactions, yelling in a megaphone to drive away drug dealers, and so on. Another group chases down a drunk driver who rammed a park car and, unable to get the police to even stop, manage to get him to give up his keys for the night. The last few minutes of the movie covers the heroes going around giving out food and water to the homeless or the drunk hero guy's annual Christmas drive that's actually pretty successful. This ends up being "halfway decent" with the first 30-45 minutes being "the greatest movie ever" [/sarcasm] because of the unintentional comedy. It is fascinating to look at all of these very earnest folks who just aren't quite right in the head. 6/10.
