Reviews

Superchick received mixed reviews upon its release. While some critics praised the film for its energetic performance by Joyce Jillson and its fun blend of comedy and action, others found the plot to be lacking in depth and the humor to be somewhat dated. Rotten Tomatoes critic's consensus stated, 'Superchick may not be a cinematic masterpiece, but its campy charm and entertaining set pieces make it a fun watch for fans of 70s cult films.' However, IMDb users were less forgiving, with the majority giving it a rating of 3.8/10. Some reviewers appreciated the film's nostalgia and unique take on the stewardess trope, while others felt it fell short in terms of storytelling and character development.
