A simpleton inventor becomes a superhero with a bulletproof costume and a low budget. Darryl Walker is a nerdy, child-like man with a genius for inventing various gadgets out of junk. After tragedy hits his family, and when he stumbles on a method to make his clothes bulletproof, he decides to use his skills to become the lowest budgeted superhero ever. His brother Kevin disapproves of Darryl fighting crime as "Blankman", but soon finds himself fighting alongside his brother as "Other Guy", an easily overlooked partner with no special weapons or crime-fighting abilities. This film is stupid, but funny. This movie is like the upcoming movie, Mystery Men. But there's only two lame super heroes in this movie. I recommended this movie, well… sort of.<br/><br/>*** This was one of those funny-DUMB movies that many of us secret away as a guilty pleasure. I found a lot of warmth of character…downright heart, if you will…in this film. I'm not a big fan of the Wayans' work. I haven't been since the close of "In Living Color," but I catch myself admiring a performance here and there, such as Keenan Ivory Wayans' performance in Glimmer Man.<br/><br/>This film, superficially, appears to be pointless except to provide mindless entertainment to the masses. But beneath that, there is sufficient meat into which viewers may sink their teeth, and which will serve as inspiration to those who have been downtrodden, regardless of the degree.<br/><br/>The performances herein are adequate, and the comedy is well timed, if mindlessly juvenile enough to make you inwardly cringe. While this was billed as a spoof of the latest rash of superhero movies, Blankman delivers a geeky hero who saves the day, gets the girl, and warms your heart.<br/><br/>It rates a 6.4/10 from…<br/><br/>the Fiend :.
