Storyline

Shep Ramsey is an interstellar hero, righting wrongs, etc. His ship is damaged after a fight with an interstellar nasty and he must hide out on Earth until it can recharge. He leaves his power suit at home, but still finds himself unable to allow wrongs to go unrighted and so mixes it up with bad drivers, offensive paperboys, muggers and the like. Then the family he's staying with finds his power suit and the father tries it on. Written by John Vogel <jlvogel@comcast.net>

Quotes

Adrian Beltz: [Beltz is showing the Japanese businessmen around an unfinished part of the building where he awards are being displayed] By the way, do you like it in here? It's finished. I'm kidding, I'm kidding, but this is the way his building is going to look. These are all jokes. Anyway, take a look. Seriously, over here fellas. See that space? That's how confident I am about this project, I'm unveiling it at the signing.
Zukaki: [in Japanese] Boy, when this guy shovels it, he uses both hands.

Amusing
22 November 2011 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

Sweet and amusing. Maybe you need to watch it when you're very, very tired, like Mr. Hulot's Holiday. Or maybe the ideal venue would be a crowded matinée showing packed with teenagers just out of school, like PeeWee's Big Adventure. I dunno, I smiled a lot - the script was self-consciously corny and silly, but very well-done silly. Or maybe you need an IQ temporarily 30 points lower than your best shot. Can't help thinking that if you liked Harold and Maude or Ferris Buehler or Stripes or (parts of) Caddyshack (cut to Carl Spackler), you'd be amused, too. In the immortal words of Jean-Paul Sartre, "Au revoir, goph...uh, aliens."
