Superwho? (2022)

Superwho? is a gleefully self-aware superhero spoof that treats its capes and gadgets like toys in a sandbox, then commits to the bit with real stunt energy and impeccable comic timing. Philippe Lacheau plays a lovable underdog whose brush with “heroism” turns into a runaway collision of movie magic and messy reality, and the film keeps finding fresh ways to turn action set pieces into punchlines without losing its momentum. The vibe is bright, fast, and proudly silly—more family-friendly chaos than grim comic-book destiny—so it’s easy to watch with a crowd and laugh at how earnestly it leans into absurdity. If you want subtle satire or a serious superhero story, this isn’t that, but if you’re in the mood for a high-spirited, French-flavored romp that knows exactly how ridiculous it is, it’s a surprisingly winning time.

Superwho? wants to be a goofy, family-friendly superhero spoof with French farce energy, mixing action beats with an actor-who-thinks-he’s-his-character setup. When it works, it’s breezy, silly, and occasionally inventive with physical comedy and low-stakes stunt gags. The problem is it leans hard on loud, broad humor and coincidence-heavy plotting, so if you’re not already on its wavelength, the jokes can feel repetitive and the pacing starts to drag. If you’re expecting sharp satire, real superhero spectacle, or anything emotionally substantial, you’ll likely be checking your watch—but if you just want a harmless, slapstick parody to half-watch with the family, it does the job.
