Add this to your Netflix Roku list immediately. A movie, even a documentary, should have a compelling story and interesting characters. This documentary has both plus excellent production qualities. The movie follows, primarily, four actors who are awaiting their "big break" in Hollywood and riding out the time posting as Superheros for tips "between gigs" on Hollywood Boulvard in front of Mann's Chinese Theater (though they are in no way associated with Mann's).
This movie explores the worlds of Christopher "Superman" Dennis, a Superman collector and fixture in front of Mann's theater for years. Dennis does not like superheros that smoke in costume. Maxwell "Batman" Allen, originally on the strip as a George Clooney look-alike claims a dark past in his native Texas, plus a slight rage problem. Are his stories all they are cracked up to be? Joesph "The Hulk" McQueen hawked his Nintendo for bus fare to L.A. and arrived on day #2 of the Rodney King riots. Will he ever get his big break? Jennifer "Wonder Woman" Wenger left college to presue acting in L.A. Did she make a good move?
Good stuff here, people. The best part is all you have to do is simply click "play now". So go do just that.
