No explosions or special effect eye candy, but The Specials is a movie that works
A group of almost superheroes pursue their rightful place in the harshly competitive world of comic books and action figures.
The DVD release turned out to be a real treat.. the commentary track by director Craig Mazin, writer/actor James Gunn and producer Mark A. Altman is a gas - funny, edgey and candid... all DVD commentaries should be this much fun. -
