Day 55 and I watched Special. Special stars Michael Rapaport as a meter maid who is content with his life. Content as in bored. He doesn't feel like he's really going anywhere or has anything to offer. So he signs up for a clinical test of a new antidepressant and guess what? He now has super powers! At least he thinks he does. He decides he's going to be a super hero and goes around trying to help people. This kind of reminds me of Big Fan in that after a while, you're not really rooting for the main guy, you just feel bad for him. You wish he'd wake up and take some damn advice. The only time I really cared for the guy was when he was getting his ass kicked. Everything is just so-so in this movie. It's kind of an interesting idea but poor execution.
