- Synopsis
- A lonely traffic warden becomes convinced he's a superhero after he volunteers to take part in a drugs trial. Les Franken (Michael Rapaport) leads a painfully unremarkable life as a meter-maid until he enrolls in a drug study for an experimental anti-depressant. An unexpected side effect of the drug convinces Les he is developing special powers and must quit his job to answer his new calling in life... as a superhero. A very select group of people in life are truly gifted. Special is a movie about everyone else.

-
-
"It may not be perfect, but this under-the-radar indie from Hal Haberman and Jeremy Passmore is smart enough to leave you glad you found it."
-
"Its ambitions are limited -- though at 81 minutes, wisely proportioned -- but its heart is in the right place."
-
"Thanks to Rapaport's brio in embracing the hero's drug-induced delusions, the movie is less a failure than a noble experiment gone awry"
-
"'Special' enjoyably toys with some knockabout comedy until it begins to take itself too seriously."
-
"'Special' is an inexplicable downer that favors pathos over satire."
