Australian rom com with a super hero - of sorts
26 February 2016
Griff (Ryan Kwanten) is a nerd. He works in an office where he is bullied by the alpha male and spends his time fighting crime – imaginary crime – in a rubber suit with a gig 'G' on the front. His brother has been looking out for him but is despairing of his nocturnal habits and the costume he wears.

Then Melody is introduced into his life. She is supposed to be his brother's girlfriend but finds an affinity with the nervous younger brother instead. She also has 'issues' the belief that she can align her molecules with those of a wall and thereby pass through it, being an obvious quirk.

This film is essentially about people with mental issues and is not a super hero film per se. It is also not really very funny, but on the relationship part it actually scores reasonably well. The acting is all fine and for a small budget film it does not seem to suffer but I felt it could have been funnier, or it may be my sense of humour as a lot of folk have said they did find it to be a laughathon. That aside it is still a reasonable watch and does have its heart in the right place.
