Movie Haiku:Coming-of-age story set in the ‘70s. 2 boys in a suburban Catholic school channel their energies into a homemade comic book: they’re both superheroes & their nemesis is “Nunzilla.” (She’s played by Foster who’s in fact this film’s angel/producer.) Absorbing, inventive mix of live action & animation, pranks & pathos.
