I'm going to have to urge you not to look at the official site for Special (I know I linked to it, but that's for informational purposes only) because it makes the movie look like the stupidest, cheapest, most ridiculous thing in cinematic history. Instead, watch the trailer, which ...Okay it still has a completely ridiculous concept. But in a good way. Michael Rapaport, who I have alternately loved (Beautiful Girls, Friends) and hated (The War At Home), stars as a guy participating in a clinical study that somehow makes him think he has superpowers. He starts dressing up in what looks like an astronaut Halloween costume and running around (and into things) fighting crime and otherwise trying to be a hero. People keep mistaking him for a criminal or a crazy person (that actually wouldn't be a mistake), but he's just a telepathic superhero trying to do right, okay? His therapist -- who put him on the clinical trial -- basically tells him it's a side effect. From there on, where the movie goes is up for grabs. But it's enough to sell me on it. I honestly have no idea how it's going to end. Added bonus: this definitely looks like the Michael Rapaport I love. The rest of the cast is a bunch of familiar but lesser-known actors, so unless you live in some dimension where Michael Rapaport = Brad Pitt, you won't be seeing this one for its star power, but for the charm of the kooky story. Which is reason enough.
