Hero at Large

Something a ten-year-old me may have enjoyed. Slight and cartoony.

Supporting characters r 1 dimensional & the 3rd act falls in2 predictable formula, but films this honestly good-natured don't come around everyday. Ritter's got an inherent likeability u can't help rooting 4 & like Christopher Reeve, makes an unfailingly good-hearted character seem genuinely plausible. The high-concept idea's played 4 family viewing but at least it's original & Archer, as a surprisingly independent romantic interest, joins Ritter in making this a sweetly entertaining diversion
