    Fun and relatable
    I was always a huge Batman fan, but (especially when I was a kid) I was always much more interested in Robin than I was Batman. Which was the point of teenage sidekicks I think-- for kids to see themselves in the comic fighting along side the larger than life superhero.

    I Was a Teenage Superhero Sidekick is an original look at what happens when the teenage sidekick, Kid Dynamic, grows up and is wondering what he's supposed to do with his life. A feeling that, now that I'm older and just out of college, makes Kid Dynamic just as relatable now as Robin was to me years ago. Kid Dynamic's (or Larry's) journey is a great balance of jokes and real heart. Same goes for the hilarious scenes with Frog King and his personal struggles. It's good to see that even crime fighters can be delightfully screwed up.

    The animated back stories are a nice touch to building this world where superheros can believable exist, but the acting and writing really sell it. The film is well written and relatable enough that it doesn't need crazy special effects and huge fight scenes to be believable. Overall, a fun movie that looks at superhero's actual character instead of their powers.
