Synopsis For years, The Specials have been the also-rans of superheroes, getting whatever missions the better groups are too busy to take. As the 6th or 7th best superhero team in the world, The Specials are stuck with too much time on their hands. They have turned their energies inward, engaging in petty infighting, intra-group love affairs, financial squabbles and misguided attempts to better their image. But now, that's all about to change. With The Strobe (Thomas Haden Church), The Weevil (Rob Lowe) and Amok (Jamie Kennedy) leading the way, The Specials are on the threshold of greatness.

Empire Review a special flick - 4 out of 5  (3/26/2001) Before you are tempted to look at "The Specials" and dismiss it as a second rate "Mystery Men", allow me to say that the "Specials" is to super hero teams what "Free Enterprise" was to "Star Trek." This might not mean a lot to most of you, but there are some out there who say that "Free Enterprise" is their favorite Star Trek film for the way that the film lampoons what has become something of a sacred cow.
