SuperBob is a mockumentary of a day in the life of a postman in Peckham who was transformed into a superhero when struck by a meteorite. Bob Kenner (Brett Goldstein) now works for the Ministry of Defence as a superhero and finds saving lives is a bureaucratic nightmare. The Americans are jealous that Bob is British and wants him labelled as a weapon of mass destruction. Bob though feels like a loser. He is a loner looking for love despite being able to fly and save lives. He fancies the local librarian June (Laura Haddock) but ends up getting together with his acerbic Columbian maid Doris (Natalia Tena.) She is in Britain to earn enough money to build an orphanage back in Columbia. This is a low budget film with too much obvious attempt to have quirky British humour. It fails to soar because it does not have much of a plot, it is also not really funny. Catherine Tate is irritating as Bob's boss in the Ministry of Defence. Brett Goldstein who also co-wrote the script comes across as too flat in the lead role. He just seemed wrong in the lead role. I have seen him in a sitcom called Uncle where he was lot better as the rival boyfriend.

I tried. I can laugh and almost anything. No humour here. Lucky to get a chuckle. Just cringy.

This is such a funny movie. This is the British take on Hancock. I will definitely recommend this movie to others. The idea of a mild-manner postman becoming a superhero and taking all of his personality flaws with him makes for a great story. Normally we think that with the extra powers confidence will come along with it but that is not the case for Bob. Bob can't even get a date and he is the personal jar opener for a unionized security guard charged to protect Bob's life. The "girl-friend" is stereotypical "Colombian" but she balances the "loser" persona of Bob. Cute and funny a must see movie for the flip side of Marvel and DC characters.

Great, original british comedy. Brett & Catherine work great together

It's a cute film which is often quite witty and humorous. I really enjoyed it. The lead actor is an absolute delight.

I hadn't heard about the 2015 British comedy titled "SuperBob" prior to sitting down to watch it. But I was expecting it to be a funny movie at least, especially since British comedy tends to be something I enjoy. Well, I managed to endure a staggering and mind-numbingly 30 minutes into the ordeal that is known as "SuperBob" and I gave up. Nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing of any interest had happened in that time. And the storyline was so mundane and pointless that it was hard to keep watching it and have an active interest in the movie. And little did it help that the characters were simply pointless and unappealing. I don't know what writer and director Jon Drever was attempting to accomplish with this 2015 movie, but it utterly failed to captivate my interest, much less prove any entertainment for me. This was a massive swing and a miss, and I know for a fact that I am not going to be returning to give "SuperBob" a second chance. This movie was just not anything remotely within the scope of my humor or interest. My rating of the movie is a generous two out of ten stars, based solely on the production value of the movie.
