This slight but pleasantly amiable British comedy plays on the premise of a very ordinary man being given superpowers and having to deal with his boss, his relationship, the media, the world stage and political powerplay, and finding that having special powers does not make life any easier. Numerous familiar Brit-com faces pop up, but the movie's saving grace is a very genuine performance by Brett Goldstein as the titular hero. There are some well-aimed potshots at the Anglo-American relationship and world position, but at times the movie is inconsistent in tone and strength. This is not Hollywood film-making, and SuperBob does not aim high, but it tries hard and has some good moments.
