Reception
The film was screened at the 2011 Coney Island Film Festival,[8] where it later won the Award for the "Best Feature".[9][10] It was further recognized by the Waterfront Film Festival, the Heartland Film Festival,[1][11] and Newport Beach Film Festival.[12]
A review at Criterion Cast stated, "Overall, Somebody’s Hero is a flawed crowd pleaser that, if you allow yourself to get sucked into the romance and ‘you must stand up, if not for yourself, but for others’ message, you’ll be hard pressed to not be charmed by this warm and loving comedy. Featuring a handful of great performances, it may not be the most rewarding watch ever, but I’ll be damned if this one doesn’t win you over by the time the credits roll."[13]
