Customer Reviews

intriguing documentary.
A very unique look into the often misunderstood subculture that is the Real Life Super-Hero (RLSH) community. As a fellow costumed adventurer, it was heart warming to see that I am not the only one who thinks that he is crazy enough to attempt to make a positive difference in the world, even if only one good deed at a time.

I consider many of the individuals featured in the video close friends and allies. It is my sincere hope that as this documentary is circulated, public awareness grows for our mission and others will be inspired to compassion and generosity in the way my colleagues demonstrate in their everyday lives.

Excellent Indy Documentary
This is an independent documentary about real-life superheroes in America. Instead of commenting on the absurdity of her subjects, the filmmaker lets them play out their personalities and lives on screen, something that more documentary filmmakers need to practice. An interesting film with interesting characters living out their own unique version of the American dream.

Friendly Neighborhood Review
This film is both illuminating and entertaining. It follows four real life superheroes in their day to day lives. One hero struggles with his relationship, another struggles to find his identity. Another hero walks a fine line between hero and villain, and you get the feeling that a push in the wrong direction will tip him over edge. The documentary lets these characters reveal themselves to the viewer and doesn't seem to push it's own agenda. Very enjoyable and highly recommended.
