About
You may like Mystery Men if you enjoy goofy superhero parodies with an underdog spirit and a talented cast; Not for you if you want serious stakes or flashy action, but fans of The Mask may appreciate its offbeat energy.
Pros: goofy, funny premise; strong cast; quotable lines | Cons: uneven humor; long runtime; modest action
