Dragonfly takes on the Hourglass

Superhero Movie is a crazy new comedy from the makers of Scary Movie and The Naked Gun.

When high school nerd Rick Riker (Drake Bell) is bitten by a mutant dragonfly, he finds himself endowed with amazing superpowers. Unfortunately, he doesn�t really know how to use them.

When Rick discovers that the world is in danger, he transforms himself into The Dragonfly and assembles a motley crew of heroes, including Xavier (Tracy Morgan), Mrs Xavier (Regina Hall), the Invisible Girl (Pamela Anderson) and Jill Johnson (Sara Paxton).

Together they must fight the villainous Lou Landers (Christopher McDonald), who has been transformed into the evil Hourglass by an experiment-gone-wrong.

Superhero Movie is a side-splitting spoof of comic-book movies like Spider-Man, Batman and X-Men. Learning to fly, spinning a web and busting a gut has never been so much fun.

Go along for the hilarious ride when Superhero Movie hits theatres on April 17.
