winner55 I suppose the reason this film has such a low rating is that the Super Dave character is definitely a cult phenomenon. It helps to have seen the original short sketches on the old "Bizarre" comedy show with John Byner, and the later TV shows, because the film does depend somewhat on the audience having a sense of the history of the character. Originating as a satire on Evel Knieval, the character explored the same 'comedy of pain' terrain as Jim Carrey's 'Fireman Bob.' with the important difference that Carrey's character could be down right cruel and sick on occasions, while Super Dave proudly insists on being virtuous and good natured regardless of the disasters that confront him. But there's no doubt that what we are laughing at is, just how much pain can this character accidentally inflict on himself? Since this tells us more about ourselves than we wish to know, the producers of the film wrap it up in a story that certainly borders on the saccharine. But fortunately, the story isn't taken seriously at all. It's mere excuse to develop an alternative universe that is as absurd as the character of Super Dave himself - a necessity if the character is going to be allowed 90 minutes of comic pain without becoming obviously absurd himself. I've always found Super Dave hilarious, so I enjoyed the movie. The one real quibble I have for with it is the background music, which is excruciatingly banal. But if in comedy timing is everything, the film is superbly structured for what it is trying to accomplish - hence my own high rating for it.

ronca20 This unspectacular movie will mean little for those that never watched Super Dave's show from the 80's. Super Dave's show in the 80's was largely filmed in Toronto, my home town and it's always fun to be able to recognize scenes on the screen that you're been to or at least know about.This predictable movie reassembles the main cast from the show. It's nice to see them aging well and having a new gig. Seeing them altogether brings back memories of perhaps a better time that we can all personally associate with.Personal overtones make this movie special to the old Super Dave Fans for reasons other than its content. Give it a try....

Cris_Null I watched this film with a few kids and they really enjoyed the slapstick comedy of it all. The movie does start out with a blast but then seems to lose focus after the first 15 minutes. This really had some potential it just failed to seize the initiative. All in all though its not that bad of a film.

Scott Schwartz I honestly rented this movie because I found out John Elway was in it for a short little moment. I tried to enjoy watching it, but found it hard to keep up with. Basically I found that the best part of the movie was the short line by John Elway. The beginning of the movie is a bit deceiving though. It starts out full blast and looks like a pretty exciting movie, but the excitement dies quickly thereafter.
