Not what i expected from a superhero movie. And to be honest.. i dont like romcoms.. but this one is funny and romantic.
I had a good time.

Cute and funny
Cute
It's a cute film which is often quite witty and humorous. I really enjoyed it. The lead actor is an absolute delight.
Good natured, but neither as fu ny nor as sharp as it could have been
A meteorite strikes postman Bob on Peckhan Common, imbuing him with superpowers. Bob is likeable and good-hearted. He is also not the sharpest tool in the toolbox, nor is he over-blessed with social awareness. This feeds into a number of parallel sub-plots: Bob is dominated by his government spook controller, the USA is miffed that the UK has a superhero and they don't, and Bob's largely unsuccessful love life looks as if it's about to get a boost care of hottie June.
Although Bob has superpowers, this is not a superhero movie - don't look for more than occasional special effects. This is, instead, a comedy of manners in which controller Catherine Tate, housemate Natalie Tena, potential girlfriend Laura Haddock, and Bob's mum in residential carry much of the weight, as does the framing device of Bob featuring in a documentary about his life. Co-writer Brett Goldstein is Bob, and conveys slightly dim decency very sympathetically.
This is amusing without being especially funny. This is mildly satirical without being especially sharp. This is mildly targetted towards superhero movies without being especially barbed. This is lightly romantic without being especially heartwarming. In short this film is a good idea which never quite achieves on the level it should have.
