Faster than a Speeding Bullet, Crap with Girls: After a freak meteor storm turns postman Bob into a superhero, he must face his greatest challenge: going on his first date in six years. Featuring stellar support from top tier comedic talent, Bob must balance international politics, saving the world and getting the girl. Robert Kenner is a lonely man looking for love. Today, if he can actually get his boss to give him some time off, he is going on his first date for 6 years. Oh, and he is also the world's only SuperHero. I liked this movie a lot, it caught my attention on Flix because of Catherine Tate from Doctor Who but didn't know anything else about it. It had a lot of production value for a lower budget film of this scope and so some of the lesser quality effects work at times is forgivable. The movie had a lot of heart and I really liked that it took the superhero story in a different direction than normal. I think we've all felt stuck in a job or duty and this movie handled that emotion well. The lead actor was really great in the role and there's a lot of funny writing and touching moments that keep you drawn in. A-. You've seen South-East London in Attack the Block. Now see it again in this very funny take on 'what if superheroes were real' with excellent performances from Brett Goldstein, Natalia Tena and Catherine Tate.<br/><br/>Bob is a postman who gets struck by a meteorite. This gives him superpowers. Unfortunately, being in Britain, he gets stuck in a world of forms and civil servants.<br/><br/>Even more unfortunately, having superpowers doesn't make him a cool person, so if he's not off saving the world, he's struggling to do the normal things like the rest of us, things like putting up with his Mum, going on a date, etc.
