Super farts and flying false teeth abound in theSupervizedtrailer, a movie that we know exists, so now you have to as well. Tom Berenger and Beau Bridges are the latex-clad stars of the superhero comedy, donning their old skin-tight super suits to save the world from a sinister nursing home that may be zapping retired superheroes of their powers.
ThatSupervizedcomes mere months afterGlasshits theaters doesn’t feel like a coincidence — this Irish comedy plays like an inadvertent (or maybe purposeful) parody of the M. Night Shyamalan film.

Here is the synopsis forSupervized:
SUPERVIZED tells the story of an elderly group of international superheroes retired to Dunmanor nursing home in Ireland. Ray is the once world renowned ‘Maximum Justice’ who as his nom de plume suggests will fight bad with good till the cows come home. He finds it hard to accept that his hero days are over and now it’s bingo games and blanket baths. His old team consisting of trusted sidekick Ted AKA ‘Shimmy’, old flame Madera ‘Moonlight’ and rival at everything Pendle ‘Total Thunder’ are far more accepting of their undignified destiny. When Jerry, ‘Rainbow Warrior,’ dies after having his superpowers ‘downwardly managed’ for the safety of others, a federation sectioned procedure, Ray suspects foul play and decides to investigate. The rest of the gang is not so convinced, and Ray finds himself battling against not only his enemies, but the stigma and restrictions of old age.
