I think this was a comedy movie. A man's car was struck by a meteorite which gave him powers, one of which was that if he touched a book, he would absorb all of the knowledge in it for a very short period of time. In the climax, he faced off against the villain in a fight where they both tried to grab a book about fighting but grabbed one about dancing instead. The hero also got shot in the hands trying to block bullets from hitting a crowd.
