Sidekick improves through every one of its later scenes, building and building to something wildly original. Full Review |

After seeing it, I wonder why someone didn't think of this particular idea before. Full Review |

|
2.5/4 |
In a perfect antidote to this summer's pretentious, superhero extravaganzas, Sidekick is a sweet, indie spoof of the genre. ... It's consistently cute. Full Review |

3.5/4 |
One of the best superhero films I've ever seen... Full Review |

|
|
A twisted superhero story that has reportedly been purchased for a big-budget Hollywood remake, though this indie version is certainly good enough for multiplexes. Full Review |

3/5 |
Mesmo com a produção tecnicamente pobre (explicável pelo baixíssimo orçamento) e prejudicado pela direção amadora e pelo elenco irregular, o roteiro de Sparaga dá origem a um filme com charme e inteligência, embora pudesse ser melhorado. Full Review |

just as captivating as anything that opens with the Marvel comic's scrawl. This thing has real characters, real emotion, and mostly, real laughs. Full Review |

2.5/4 |
Has more to say about being a hero than most big movie productions, although having even a tiny bit of one of those blockbuster's budgets would have helped. Full Review |

Sidekick isn't a comedy so much as it is a twist on the genre. It's a solid little film, and I'll be curious to see what these filmmakers do next. Full Review |

...a lot of fun to watch, and I hope to see those involved continue to grow. Full Review |

|
3/4 |
...a far more accomplished and flat-out entertaining piece of work than some of its similarly-themed Hollywood brethren. Full Review |

Even though I have read a comic or two in my life, it's not just for us nerds....It's a universal story. Honest. Full Review |
