Return

Finally, I saw "Mystery Men," the first half of which is hilarious, the rest of which peters out into a Burtonesque mess. And no film should have two characters with speech impediments/bad accents (such as those sported by Geoffrey Rush and Paul Reubens), because after awhile, it just becomes intolerable. Then again, any film that offers a super hero named "The Spleen" is a must see. So, I am conflicted.
