• Silly British humor...I love it!

  Boba_Fett11382005-08-03

  Fans of British humor pay attention. This short is a must see for you! This little short mainly of course spoofs "Spider-Man" and "Spider-Man 2" with lots of typical priceless British humor and with some good well known British comedians in it. I never can really look at Rowan Atkinson and not think about him as Mr. Bean or Blackadder but in this short he was really good and he made me believe he was Peter Piper aka Spider-Plant Man. The movie is filled with many more well known British comedians in small parts such as Mackenzie Crook, Simon Pegg and Tony Robinson who are all very enjoyable in their roles, no matter how small. This little short features some highly good laugh-out-loud moments and is highly enjoyable to watch. Of course you must be able to appreciate British humor in order to find this short funny and enjoyable but then again, who doesn't love British humor? It's silly, over-the-top and totally ridicules...I love it! 8/10 http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

• Rowan Atkinson is at it again!

  anthony-rigoni2008-08-22

  I enjoyed Rowan Atkinson starring in Mr. Bean, so I wondered "Okay, what other show is he in?" So, I checked his biography and I decided to watch "Spider-Plant Man." Peter Piper is at a botanist lab and got bitten by a spider-plant while taking pictures. Suddenly, Peter gain Spider-Plant powers and set off on a life-changing adventure. He rescues his girlfriend Jane Mary disguised as Spider-Plant Man from a purse-snatcher. Of course, every superhero has to have a super villain. This super villain is Batman, who thinks no one cared for him anymore. In revenge, he takes Jane Mary hostage at Tower Bridge and Spider-Plant Man came in the nick of time. A hilarious battle scene ensues and Robin joins in. When Batman tells Robin to finish off Spider-Plant Man, Spider-Plant Man negotiates Robin with 25% on pajama sales. After this, Robin helped defeat Batman and rescued Jane Mary. I really loved this short, especially the hilarious costume changes, the battle scene at Tower Bridge, and the superhero rivalry of Batman and Spider-Plant Man. Who knows? I found this short very funny and I really think you might enjoy this. 10 billion stars out of ten.

  this isn't a bad comic flick. it has the supporting roles of nick frost, simon pegg nd i think the street sweeper guy was edgar wright, I'm not 2 sure tho. I'm a big simon pegg fan nd of course a fan of mr. bean! this is a good spoof and is funny in places. a good parody. I may not be totally for this flick but it is worth seeing! the ending is pretty funny and the f.f.j part is just ace. atkinson plays a good role an d the support of all the other characters is good. nd lets face it we all love rachel stevens. fans of mr bean or any simon pegg fans will like this, maybe not love it but be able to appreciate it.

• Problem of being Superheroes

  king_vsjn2007-05-05

  Almost everyone know being superhero is not easy. You'll be risked of being laughed by wearing ridiculous spandex costume, you miss your old glorious time. Can't help to laugh when I saw Batman doing curhat *) to Spider-plant Man or saw the reporter's comment on those superheroes. It may not be the best of Rowan Atkinson but I didn't see him as Mr. Bean anymore in this movie. From the title itself, it is clearly the parody of Spiderman. The opening credit sequence would reminded you the opening credit sequence of Spiderman 2 which show Alex Ross' version of the first Spiderman's story. The first three scenes was a parody of the first movie of Spiderman. The background music was clearly taken from Spiderman's (, isn't it? ). It get better when Batman appeared on the screen. For those who think Batman and Robin should not played by middle-aged men, apparently, you missed the joke. Begin as the parody of Spiderman, it grew to a critic of Superheroes movie. I only regret the movie was too short. *Curhat: It is a slang of Indonesian Language. It means, telling someone about your problem, about how you feel about your problem, to get other's sympathy.

• Spider-Plant Man

  jboothmillard2006-01-03

  This short comedy spoof film was part of the Comic Relief 2005 programme. Rowan Atkinson (aka Mr. Bean and Blackadder) is in every Comic Relief, in 2001 he was a Popsters judge, and in 2003 he was Martin Bashir meeting Michael Jackson (Lenny Henry). In this short film he is the new Tobey Maguire playing Peter Piper/Spider-Plant Man. Also starring celebrity stars the gorgeous Rachel Stevens as Jane Mary, Jim Broadbent as Batman, Tony Robinson (aka Baldrick) as Robin, Peter Andre, Mackenzie Crook as Scientist, Nick Frost as Scientist and Simon Pegg as Reporter. The crappy effects, witty dialogue and pieces from the Spider-Man story, and of course Atkinson in the tights make this a very good spoof film, especially for Comic Relief. Very good!
