Both plot and script are elevated by an aimable lead and some Fargo-ish business from the investigating sheriff
Post-pub chuckles aplenty in his comedy horror about Ken, 34, freshly released from an asylum into a domestic minefield of a pushy mum, a demeaning ice cream parlour job and a surprise daughter. But then the small-town bozos who verbally persecute him start dropping like flies, in ways coincidentally outlined in Ken's own comicbook, about a revenge-wreaking superhero. Traces of the duff Super endure in both plot and script, elevated by Corrigan's aimable lead, some Fargo-ish business from Bostwick as the investigating sheriff, and Lucy Davies cropping up as Ken's desperate date. In the sober light of day, the flaws here seem to glare and screech; under the right conditions, this is cheery genre fun.
