Movie Review Special

By Adam Markovitz (EW.com)

After signing up for trials of a new happy pill, a geeky parking cop (Michael Rapaport) develops superhuman powers â- or so he thinks. Sounds like a great Jim Carrey vehicle, but Special is dead serious - and set on making you think instead of laugh. The result is a minor-key riff on Don Quixote that struggles against heavy-handed plotting and the awkward humor of a man in a hand-sewn bodysuit running headfirst into walls. But thanks to Rapaport's brio in embracing the hero's drug-induced delusions, the movie is less a failure than a noble experiment gone awry.
