Surprisingly good! It is certainly "DC dark", but lightly comedic as well. Any movie that opens with a father calling his son a 'little shit' and still calls itself a family flick has gotta be DC. There's also the theme of abandonment and belonging, as we see the desperation of the main character's search for his parents, who never bothered to search for him. The reveal that the mother intentionally let her son get picked up into foster care because she felt unprepared as teen mom was heartbreaking. Damn! Zachary Levi was fantastic as a teenager in a man's superhero body. And there were lots of other surprise superhero moments in the 3rd act that kicked ass. The trailers did this film NO justice! One of my most enjoyable DC flicks in years, go see it!
