I want the last 96 minutes of my life back.
Director: James Gunn
Main Actors: Rainn Wilson, Ellen Page, Liv Tyler and Kevin Bacon
Synopsis: (from IMDb) Frank Darbo is a hapless fry cook. When his wife Sarah falls off the wagon and dumps him for Jock, a drug dealer, Frank tries to get her back by reporting her kidnapped, grabbing her from Jock's car, and wailing for her to return. After watching Christian TV and having a vision, he becomes a superhero to fight evil. He sews a costume, finds a weapon (a pipe wrench) and looks for crimes to stop. He has problems: his wrench inflicts real injury, so the cops want him for being a vigilante, his sense of boundaries is flawed, and Jock's gang has guns. Libby, a clerk at a comics store, becomes his sidekick, and it's time to go save Sarah. What chance do they have?
Rating: Don't waste your time. You would think you couldn't go wrong with a fine set of actors such as Rainn Wilson (The Office), Ellen Page, Liv Tyler, Kevin Bacon and Michael Rooker (Tombstone anyone?). Yeah, you can go very, very wrong. We started the movie saying "Kevin Bacon's in it... he doesn't do bad movies". Yeah, wrong again. It was just a really lame story line and kinda odd characters.
