Inevitably to be compared to Mystery Men, though without the annoying performances of Stiller and Garofalo. The humor here is more subtle, less absurd; the dialog is not as quotable, but has more depth.
The film covers a day (specifically, a day off) in the life of a team of second-string super heroes. Being more a satire than a spoof, the film's characters often have useful powers, with their superhuman status being used to contrast with their human failings (pride, lust, greed, etc).
Pretty much a must-see for any comic book fans.
