There's so much comedic potential to be had in the story of an ordinary British bloke given superpowers, that it's a shame SuperBob doesn't quite deliver. A little more budget and a couple more run throughs the script to amp it up - and it might have been a classic. Similar territory has been better explored across the pond in Kick-Ass.SuperBob isn't without some charm and the mockumentary format makes the best of a low budget by concentrating on talking heads and everyday south London interactions. Unfortunately, this is no The Office either.
Acting wise Tate is sadly underused, while Goldstein and Tena are both plausibly charismatic choices to anchor the story.
Verdict: Heartwarming romance that lacks laughs.
