The Specials (film)


The Specials is a 2000 American comedy film about a group of ordinary superheroes on their day off. According to the film, the Specials are the sixth or seventh most popular group of superheroes in the world. Unlike most superhero films, The Specials has almost no action and few special effects instead it focuses on the average daytoday lives of the heroes.

The cracks begin to show as they prepare to attend a dinner in their honor thrown by Kosgrov Toys, which is releasing a line of action figures based upon the group. The event is a travesty. It becomes quickly apparent that Kosgrov did little research on the Specials, and lowballed the production by utilizing cheap accessories and recycled parts. Worse yet, the leader of the Specials, the Strobe, discovers that his wife, Ms. Indestructible, is cheating on him with the most popular member of the group, The Weevil Rob Lowe. In a fit of anger, the Strobe disbands the group, and the members go their own ways.The Strobe goes to Zip Boys Barry Del Sherman house and asks for a job at New Standards Inc., a plastics company in Detroit, denying theres a problem by saying that hes great, now that he has a great new job as a welding asshole. Ms. Indestructible spends the night watching her old wedding video and crying over a glass of wine. The Strobes brother, Minute Man James Gunn, who had had a crush on the new girl, Nightbird, ultimately falls into the arms of Deadly Girl Judy Greer, who was hurt to learn about Weevil and Ms. Indestructible. Meanwhile, Amok Jamie Kennedy, Power Chick Kelly Coffield, Alien Orphan Sean Gunn, and Mr. Smart Jim Zulevic indulge in a night of drinking and dancing. ........
