    Okay, this was pretty freakin' cute. Can't resist the long running storyline. Underdog was and still is the BEST!
  • July 22, 2008
    Not my normal sort of movie.But this was quite good in the disney way.It was short and sweet and never boring with a great sence of humour.If you have a little one they will love it and watching with them will be a fun.

    There's no need to fear. "Underdog" brings cheer.

    Yeah, I know what you're thinking, but hear me out okay. Yes, I am giving 'Underdog' 3 stars. For no other reason than, I had fun. It's silly, the acting isn't great, the story is very average and even some of the jokes are corny..... but I had loads of fun with a flying beagle (...( read more)voiced by Jason Lee). I laughed out loud more than once and as superhero movies go, the origin story was well handled. A rather nice surprise. Even greater if you are old enough to remember the original cartoon.

    Very cute. Jim Belushi is a great actor.

    i thought this film was gooing to be a disaster as i'm not into this kind of story. i was, howeve, pleasantly surprised. they don't over do the action pieces and jason lee's voice give a nice character to the dog. my kids love this film at the moment.

Kyle Smith, New York Post

I have an idea for the sequel: Underdog Vs. Michael Vick. full review

Pete Hammond, Maxim

8-year olds will eat it up but adults probably will want to exit the theatre with, as Underdog might say, 'the speed of lightning and the roar of thunder!' full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune

Underdog is an underachiever in almost every way. full review

    the movie wasnt as good as i thought it would be, but whats not to like? i mean hes a superhero dog, theres a villain, and the dog can also talk, i also thought the movie could have been a bit longer

    A lab accident gives a hound named Shoeshine some serious superpowers, flying, speaking and help people-- a secret that the dog eventually shares with the young boy who becomes his owner and friend. very good movie. his one dialogue no need to fear underdog is here.
