Special is a high-quality comedy

Special

Director: Hal Haberman and Jeremy Passmore

Cast: Michael Rapaport, Paul Blackthorne, Josh Peck

Emerging from the confines of invisibility – and escaping from a zero job – Les finds himself with special super powers in this low-budget, high-quality comedy.

Rapaport is excellent as the quite ordinary Les whose involvement in an experimental drug programme renders him, or so he thinks, a super hero.

Which is, clearly, something he must do something about.

It’s a wonderful little film, full of humour and sly observation … and Rapaport has seldom been better.

Star Rating: 4/5
