Somebody's Hero

I was lucky enough to view the film at a private screening with some friends and my two boys (ages 10 and 12). We all enjoyed the movie very much. Man America character was great as a simple accountant in New York that turns make shift super hero as truly only the same account with no super human powers, just a funny costume and the will to help people in need. The fact that he has no powers and gets tossed around and beaten at times makes the film very humorous. The relationship between Man America, the boy and the boys mother is very touching making it a happy, feel good film as well. I definitely recommend the film for families as the humor and story are compelling to both children and adults.

My wife and I had the privilege of seeing this fun film at The Coney Island Film Festival, where it won Best Feature - Rightfully so. The festival was a commute from mid Manhattan but Somebody's Hero made the journey worth while.

Although there were some unique movies at the event, this film had an even flow and told a story. There was nothing that didn't work for me, in fact I was able to loose myself in the sweet story. My wife was moved to tears and adores Christopher Gorham - again - rightfully so :) Very happy to have seen this wonderful movie and enjoyed the story message very much. A+

Though some people may not like the humor this movie has and the fact it was low budget it is a very solid, heartwarming movie and it is definitely worth watching. Each of the characters in the movie is well developed and certain ones begin to grow on you throughout the length of the film. The fact that everyone can be somebody's hero is ever present in the movie. The movie hits on important values of being honest, being true to oneself, giving of oneself for others, and making a difference. The movie is really quite family friendly minus a few cuss words and it worth the chance. It also shows you that real heroes are those that do the right thing.

I saw a Rob Reiner film recently called 'Flipped' which was unexpectedly uplifting and a very fun family movie. That's exactly what you have here. I really enjoyed the message that the filmmakers were after in this one, in fact I think they nailed it. Gorham's a fun guy to watch, and a very believable actor in this role. I also liked the subtle humor. I can see why it might not be for everyone, but I know I appreciate a good film to watch with your families. Someone with a lot of heart put this together. That in my book is an easy 10 out of 10. Don't deny yourself the treat of watching something light and actually pretty fun.

I found it refreshing to have a great little gem like Somebody's Hero to make it to the mainstream, from time to time.

Nowadays, it's always stories that need to be realistic, dark, gritty... What about a story that can be just that. Heartwarming. Nothing more, nothing less.

Somebody's Hero is a movie that keep a funny little smile in your face all along the way. A Christmas morning kind of feeling, when you were ten and jumping in the bed of your parent to let them know that Santa passed by, during the night.

A great movie to watch with all the family. A couple of logs in the fireplace, everybody under a sheet, on the couch, a snack on the lap. You'll probably found Fido, also watching to find how it end.

Nothing else to say but; what are you waiting for?
