When she later shows them to the kids, she pulls out the 'pH-balancing, antibacterial gloves'. Miss Halloway (Courteney Cox) plays the psychologist/researcher who is partly responsible for the children and she has 'every issue of Zoom and His Amazing Team'. Another thing I found redeeming was the cute nod to comic collectors toward the beginning. There are a few laugh out loud jokes, and one extremely funny scene near the end of the movie - but it's much funnier if I don't spoil it, so I won't. It's too bad the new team is a bunch of misfit kids that the reluctant Zoom won't likely to be able to train before zero hour.

In the film, has-been and powerless superhero Zoom (Tim Allen), is brought out of retirement to train a new team of superheroes to prepare for the impending return of his nemesis, Concussion (Kevin Zegers - Smallville). Zoom: Academy for Superheroes, based either on the comic - Zoom's Academy for the Super Gifted - or the children's book - Amazing Adventures from Zoom's Academy - depending on whichever version you you believe, came out this past Tuesday on DVD.

I still think it was a great plan it's unfortunate that it didn't work. And, I thought if I lowered the bar, then I would likely be pleasantly surprised, and I'd like the movie a lot more than I expected. Because of the bad press, I thought I'd lower my expectations. I didn't get a chance to watch it in the theater, so I picked it up on DVD. There was a lot bad press about this film, and a lot of bad reviews.
