Notebook Reviews: MYSTERY MEN - Movies In Focus
Kinka Usher – 1999. Mystery Men is a solid and good-looking superhero comedy. It has all the right elements, but somehow they fail to come together in a truly satisfying way. This features a great cast – Ben Stiller, Hank Azaria, William H. Macy, Greg Kinnear, Claire Forlani and a raft of others – and they all do good work, although you can’t help feel that some of them are a little wasted. It’s all a bit chaotic and ultimately, it probably should have tried to do a little less and delivered a little more.
