It's a Bird! It's a Plane! No, It's Super Super!

Now in theaters near... someone... but not you!
Superman from La Mancha

This delightful musical features Schneider, the well-loved superindendent from "One Day at a Time" as the Knight of the Botox Countenance. After reading too mant Marvel Comics, Schneider deludes himself into thinking that he is really the crime-fighting superhero Superman. Along with his faithful side-kick Chachi, he roams the streets of Metropolis looking for adventure.

He encounters the woman whom he believes is his true love, Lois Lane. In reality, "Lois", played here by DeVine, is a hard-boiled cross-dressing detective calling himself Ally Pachino. Schneider continues in his delusional adventures until he is finally brought to his senses by The Enchanting Lex Luthor, who is really Tony Danza (playing himself). The Enchanting Lex Luthor convinces Schneider that he is not Superman, but instead a washed-up TV star who should be confining his exploits to reality TV shows. The joke's on Tony, though, as, in a touching death scene, Schneider reveals the entire movie was actually a Fox TV reality show.
