Jesus Christ, Hitler

review by
Mike Haberfelner

Denying her pre-teen daughter (Ida Herrndorf) the attention she needs, her mother (Nicole Herrndorf) lets her choose a comic from the shelves at the local supermarket without even checking it, so on their way home, the girl reads stories about a nerd who turns into Almighty Ape due to an experiment gone horribly wron, Jesus (Jerry Kwarteng) returning to earth as a blaxploitation hero, much to the concern of bible-thumping "Worried Christian Fathers", Hitler (Tony Tonagel) returning to life as a robot, the president's (Uwe Boll) daughter (Barbara Chirivos Valera) who's so much into being kidnapped Stockholm Syndrome isn't even beginning to describe it, a superheroine called Shitstorm (Sally Fosu) who ... well, does her name much honour, the giant Dirndl Girl (Biggi Bardot) destroying the city, the ever mentruating Menstru Girl (Norma J. Jackson), Popular Girl (Kristin Henkel) who's so popular because she's got a really big penis (?), plenty of topless babes, extreme violence and the like. No wonder then that the little girl comes off this reading trip with some pretty strange and dangerous ideas ...

 

ABCs of Superheroes is ... well, my synopsis doesn't do it real justice, it's even more insane than that. Now here's what not to look for in this movie: Incredibly sophisticated humour (though you might get some of this especially on repeat viewing), million Dollar special effects, awesome fight scenes (though some of it is suprisingly good), and of course political correctness.

What you do get though is much better than that, a really fun superhero parody that's reminiscent when superhero movies were there just to provide some silly fun rather than being building blocks of "franchises" that need to be "gritty" and pseudo-profound. Instead it presents you with a fast paced, unpretentious revue of superhero-tropes that might lack faux-depth but make up with silliness, crude humour with tongue-in-cheek violence aplenty in the style of Troma (no surprise Lloyd Kaufman's in this then), Fred Olen Ray (ditto) and Full Moon, and an almost mad amount of topless nudity worked into the proceedings.

The result is pretty much hilarious, a definite party movie that ought to be enjoyed with lots of beer, plenty of mates, and maybe one can come up with a drinking game to go with it even!!!
