Reviews

San Francisco Chronicle -
Maybe it's no mystery how they did it, considering the aggregate comic talent, but this bunch achieves peaks of sublime nuttiness.

|
Slate -
One of those half-straight, half-spoof comic-book extravaganzas that don't ever work, and what's neat is that this one does--beautifully.
|
|
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) -
This spoof's heart is genuinely warm.
|
|
L.A. Weekly -
Mystery Men gives proof that satire isn't dead.
|
|
Variety -
Sharply written, with a lavish look and top-drawer effects adding to the appeal of its large and talented cast, pic achieves a nice balance of fondness and satiric snap, character laughs and goofy action.
