As Seen On Screen

As Seen on Screen offers readers a chance to see film reviews for the everyman, without all of the clutter and nonsense fed to the average filmgoer. Plain, straitforward, to the point. That's our goal. We offer a diverse catalogue of which to choose from, from silent comedies to modern superhero films. Final note: this is a family friendly blog. We only review films rated G through PG-13, plus the unrated films of yesteryear. So if this sounds like your cup of tea, pull up a crumpet and enjoy. Thanks for your support!

     The Meteor Man
1993  PG  COMEDY  1h 40min
CAST— Robert Townsend, Marla Gibbs, Eddie Griffin, Robert Guillaume, James Earl Jones, Roy Fegan, Cynthia Belgrave, Marilyn Coleman, Don Cheadle, Bill Cosby, Frank Gorshin, Sinbad, Luther Vandross, Samuel L. Jackson
MUSIC— Cliff Eidelman  DIRECTOR— Robert Townsend

     No-brainer comedy in which a timid substitute teacher, hit by a meteorite, gains superpowers. His neighbors persuade him into cleaning up their inner city neighborhood; in so doing, he runs afoul of an organized street gang who will stop at nothing to take him down. The film relies on star power to cover up the massive problems within, and instead of a comedy we’re left with a supposed moral story about joining a celebrity-endorsed neighborhood watch.
OUR RATING— * ½
