Pizza Man

2011 · 90 min

A silly, fast-paced superhero spoof that plays like a live-action cartoon, with goofy gags and low-stakes charm.

Tagline: He's taking a slice out of crime.
Overview: Matt Burns is many things — loser, dork, pizza delivery boy — but a hero isn't one of them. That is, until he is forced to eat a genetically-engineered tomato that was designed to create super soldiers. A routine pizza delivery turns into a fight for his life, when he accidentally stumbles into the middle of a heated corporate takeover that plans on using this science for world domination. Now, equipped with an indestructible body, advanced strength and a pizza parlor mascot costume, Matt must use his new power to fight evil, rescue the girl and save the day as the unlikeliest of super-heroes: Pizza Man!
How it feels: Absurd, light, campy and satirical. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Identity, power, corruption, ambition
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
