Leave your thoughts about The Specials.
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanA genially mellow, consistently entertaining spoof. |
| Needcoffee.comWidgett WallsBetter than most superhero flicks to come down the pike. I assure you, this will achieve underground cult status one day. |
| L.A. WeeklyHazel-Dawn DumpertAn easygoing work of unforced humor built on gags that should be stupid, but are ultimately too ridiculous to resist. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...generally emphasizes jokes that aren't all that funny... |
| The New York TimesStephen HoldenTerminally whimsical, it generates a steady current of humor, much of it off-color. |
| Village VoiceMichael AtkinsonWittily conceived but clumsy as a newborn calf. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn JohansonMore amusing when taken by moments than as a whole... |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasThe Specials is an unfortunate name for a film that's anything but. |
| VarietyDerek ElleyA vulgar, Z-grade variant on last year's "Mystery Men" for those who didn't get their fill the first time around. |
| User ReviewCody LThis is one of my all time favorite movies! I can watch it over and over again and still laugh! THC is fantastic! I love this movie! Not for those who can't tolerate the "F" word as it is used A LOT! |
