Rating: 2.5/4 -- In a perfect antidote to this summer's pretentious, superhero extravaganzas, Sidekick is a sweet, indie spoof of the genre. ... It's consistently cute. Full Review

A terrifically funny movie about a computer/comics nerd who learns of his co-worker's telekinetic powers and decides to train him.

Rating: 2.5/4 -- Has more to say about being a hero than most big movie productions, although having even a tiny bit of one of those blockbuster's budgets would have helped. Full Review

Sidekick isn't a comedy so much as it is a twist on the genre. It's a solid little film, and I'll be curious to see what these filmmakers do next.

Product Description:

Superhero dreams become reality when a nerdy computer consultant, Norman, realizes that his coworker has untapped secret powers. Now, Norman's on a mission not only to get Victor to harness his extraordinary abilities, but to ride on his cape-tails as his sidekick. But once the four-color fantasy takes life, will it be all Norman hoped it would be' This entertaining take on the superhero mythos is sure to delight both comic book fans and cubicle denizens.
