Like to pay your respects to Ms. Indestructible and The Strobe? How about visiting the church where they wed?

For the uniformed, the film is about the 6th or 7th most popular superhero team in the world. The movie takes place on the day of their action figure unveiling in the beautiful city of San Pedro. As opposed to the lavish special effects and large earth-shattering plot lines in other superhero films, this is a slice of life piece. The focus is on a singular day when long lasting personal issues may result in the dissolution of the team. The culmination of these stresses takes place at the action figure launch party. Be on the lookout for the Richard Dawson reference

The film was written by James Gunn, who has a thing for superheroes.
