SuperBob (2015)
4/10
Maybe good for Brett Goldstein fans
4 May 2023
It seems from the other reviews that fans of Brett Goldstein enjoyed this film. I don't know him, so for me it was okay not great. I am a fan of other British comedies and romcoms like Run, Fat Boy, Run. But this movie for me was a bit boring. From watching the trailer it didn't seem to me that the whole movie was going to be in this reality TV, documentary style. That was the first turn off for me, I think if they'd just done it as a normal movie it might have been more interesting but that mockumentary style is so over done. 2nd for me was the Bob character, yes he's an everyman kind of guy but he isn't a sympathetic character just pathetic. He's also annoying especially that high pitched voice. I could hardly stand to listen to him through the whole movie. There's nothing to empathize with or relate to for me. I kept waiting for him to win me over and it never happened. I think if there was someone like Richard Ayoade in that role it would have been different, he's got a weird voice and he's geeky but he's easy to empathize with. I usually enjoy watching Catherine Tate but I feel like she was underused and her talents wasted in the film. But if you're looking for a romcom that is a little different you might enjoy this movie.
