L.A. Weekly
An easygoing work of unforced humor built on gags that should be stupid, but are ultimately too ridiculous to resist. - 60
TV Guide Magazine
A very funny superhero spoof. - 50
The New York Times

Village Voice
Wittily conceived but clumsy as a newborn calf. - 10
Los Angeles Times
The Specials is an unfortunate name for a film that's anything but. - 10
Variety
A vulgar, Z-grade variant on last year's "Mystery Men" for those who didn't get their fill the first time around. - 0

Lame spoof.
