Meteor Man

Writer-Director Robert Townsend leads an all-star cast in this magical, inner-city fairy tale about a substitute teacher who finds himself endowed with superpowers after being hit by a meteor. Includes the bonus movie Carbon Copy: Like father, unlike son! George Segal, Susan Saint James and two-time Oscar winner Denzel Washington star in this "zany" (Screen International) and wickedly funny comedy that strikes a brilliant "balance between broad humor and genuinely poignant moments" (Variety)! When straight-laced executive Walter Whitney (Segal) discovers he has a long-lost black son (Washington), he attempts to adopt him into his uptight family - only to watch his tidy world go hopelessly and hilariously awry. but after losing his job, his home and finally his cool, Walter slowly begins to see that all he really needs is a little bit of courage... because when it comes to family, happiness is never black and white!
