I love the "Summer Nights" song, but the rest of the movie I find rather boring. It doesn't help that all actors look at least 10 years too old for their roles.

Plot:
No Heroics is a six-part comedy series about four old friends who just happen to be off-duty superheroes.

The show focuses on their day-to-day lives, which turn out to be pretty much the same as everyone else's. In fact, superheroics seem far from their minds behind relationships, sex lives, and a constant desperation for success and fame.

Instead, this group of B-listers would rather get drunk and commiserate their lack of superiority in their local superheroes-only pub, The Fortress...

No Heroics is an ground-breaking comedy featuring stellar Britcom talent. The show has garnered much critical praise and a nomination for Best New Comedy at the British Comedy Awards 2008.


No Heroics
1.01 Episode 1
Writer: Drew Pearce (Created By), Drew Pearce (Writer)
Director: Ben Gregor
Cast: Patrick Baladi (Excelsor), Nicholas Burns (The Hotness), Claire Keelan (Electroclash), James Lance (Timebomb), Rebekah Staton (She-Force), Steve Speirs (Norse Dave), Jim Howick (Thundermonkey), Josef Altin (Robber), Delroy Atkinson (Newspaper Vendor), Allun Corduner (Shopkeeper), Joe Cornish (The Voice of Power Hour (voice)), Ginny Holder (TV Reporter), Andrea Lowe (Vicci), Oliver Maltman (Doomball)

A good episode, but sadly overall this series wasn't as fun as I hoped it to be. The concept is similar to the movie "The Specials". I preferred the movie though.
