Critic Reviews for Sidekick
All Critics (14) | Fresh (14) | Rotten (0) | DVD (2)
Sidekick improves through every one of its later scenes, building and building to something wildly original.
After seeing it, I wonder why someone didn't think of this particular idea before.
In a perfect antidote to this summer's pretentious, superhero extravaganzas, Sidekick is a sweet, indie spoof of the genre. ... It's consistently cute.
One of the best superhero films I've ever seen...
A terrifically funny movie about a computer/comics nerd who learns of his co-worker's telekinetic powers and decides to train him.
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.
Audience Reviews for Sidekick
Woohoo! Score one for inventive Canadian cinema! Perry Mucci is so sweet and charming as Norman, and is wonderful especially in contrast to David Ingram's Victor. Norman, which slightly one-dimensional is endearing as the hopeless fanboy who clings to his co-worker. Victor is the most interesting character in this movie though, because little by little his true talent and, with them, colours start to show, all thanks to his nerdy little mentor. This movie may look like hell, but it's really pretty good.
