Plot

Although not a lot is publicly known about the plot yet, "The Adventures of Food Boy" takes a different approach to the superhero genre.

The story centers around a teenage boy who discovers he has the superpower to make food appear in his hands. Ezra (Lucas Grabeel) is a top high school student who is determined to make his life extraordinary. However, his goals get more complicated when food spontaneously begins shooting from his hands at exactly the wrong time. Chaos usually ensues.

After discovering that he has this "gift," Ezra starts to use it to improve his status at school. Ezra's friends Shelby (Brittany Curran), Joel (Kunal Sharma) and Dylan (Jeff Braine) also start to get more popular. But as this new superpower begins to take over his life, Ezra has to learn how best to use it. He eventually is forced to decide if he agrees with his Grandma’s (Joyce Cohen) advice that, “Not all superheroes fight crime.” [cite web | url=http://www.theadventuresoffoodboy.com/about.shtml | title='About' the Movie on its official website| publisher=Cold Spark Films and Ezra Entertainment | accessdate=2008-01-18 ]
