What they share

Both films are directed by Robert Townsend, and they both carry the cozy, late night mood tags, and they sit in Action / Comedy / Fantasy / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Meteor Man, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Up, Up, and Away is

Here's a film that asks what would happen if a family of superheroes had one normal kid. The kid must rescue his super-powered family when they are brainwashed by a cabal of tech villains. It gently suggests that real heroism comes from within, although superpowers probably help.
