One of those comedies so incessantly and aggressively unfunny that you begin to wonder whether that’s the joke, documentary director Zak Knutson’s first narrative feature “Supercon” is a poor stab at Christopher Guest-style ensemble antics combined with a rote heist plot. The Comic Con-esque setting ought to be a rich target for satire, but life is full of missed opportunities, and this turns out to be one of them. Not to be confused with the concurrent “Supertroopers 2” — though one suspects theater owners would love it if you did — this film will no doubt pass quickly through hardtops, doing somewhat better in a home-formats launch that also commences April 27.
A former child star on an ’80s TV show, Keith Mahar (Russell Peters) is now a disillusioned adult, and makes a bare living reluctantly attending fan conventions. (Why he hasn’t tried finding another career is a question never raised here.

I've got an enjoyable red-band trailer here for a silly looking comedy called SuperCon. The movie is set at a comic con convention where a group of people team up and plan a heist to steal the money from the convention's biggest draw... Adam King.
With how popular comic conventions are these days, I'm surprised we aren't seeing more films like this that use them as a setting for a story.
This movie was directed by Zak Knutson and the cast includes Clancy Brown, John Malkovich, Ryan Kwanten, Maggie Grace, Mike Epps, Brooks Braselman, and Russell Peters. Here's the synopsis:

"We want to take it back for the fans." Sony has released the first red band trailer for Zak Knutson's indie comedy Supercon. Yes, this is as bad as it sounds, so don't be surprised. Supercon stars comedian Russell Peters as a former TV actor named Keith Mahar, who is bored of going from convention to convention. So he teams up with his other semi-famous friends and tries to get banned from the convention. The full cast includes Ryan Kwanten, Maggie Grace, Mike Epps, Brooks Braselman, Clancy Brown, and John Malkovich (crazy enough). This looks upsettingly absurd and potentially amusingly, but I'm not so sure. It seems like they went totally overboard trying to mock cosplay and conventions, and it doesn't look that fun. Here's the official red band trailer (+ green band) for Zak Knutson's Supercon, direct from YouTube: Another weekend, another comic convention for former TV actor...
