  Compared to the charming little cartoons of the 60's, this is a horrible and unnecessary live action version. However, I like dogs and I like this Dog especially. It's a shame about the humans really, although Patrick Warburton is good, Peter Dinklage hams it up a bit too much and James Belushi displays none of the humour or likability that I'm sure got him hired in the first place. I don't blame the actors though, I blame the direction and the awful script. I'm not sure Jason Lee was the best choice for the voice of Underdog either, I kept thinking My Name is Earl throughout the entire film. For what its worth, there are far worse Doggy films out there.

  *See my review of SKY HIGH for information about why Disney should not make a superhero film and market it with the corporation's name written all over it. That's not to say that UNDERDOG was terribly awful, as was the previously mentioned film; it just wasn't good, and it was more like a colorful, cartoony, kiddie, wannabe superhero film. In other words, I'm personally letting Disney slide for this once, given that there were maybe one or two scenes that were remotely enjoyable.

  its not one of the best films ive seen but its entertaining and stays faithful to the original show somewhat. Jason Lee does a good job as Underdog, but the other actors aren't very good or as entertaining except for Patrick Warburton as the dumb right hand man to Simon Bart Sinister, its such a stupid character but the jokes are so forced with this character that it is funny. I'll say it is definitely not a good film for the regular male adult or teenage demographic, but if you have a little girl, its okay.

  Unfortunately, I was forced to watch this movie with 6 year olds. I found the plot boring and uninteresting. I day-dreamed throughout the entire movie. The dog was cute, but the film really didn't impress me.

• KJ P

  
  It had a few adorable little addition to it's ridiculous story when it first started out, but it was brought down by it's childish slapstick humor and cheesy effects.

• Leigh R

  
  Okay, this was pretty freakin' cute. Can't resist the long running storyline. Underdog was and still is the BEST!

• Jason S

  
  A fine kids movie. It kept my kids entertained and that's good enough for me. It's different from the cartoon as it's a superhero dog in the world of humans but I think it keeps the charm of the original.

• Brian D

  
  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.

• Roy G

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

• Nicki M

  
  Extremely cute, but not exactly a gripping story with an interesting plot. Better than a lot of kids movies by far, but still got bored before it was halfway through.

  Typical family fluff but untypically bland for a Disney-backed film. The films has many faults and mistakes but two things really stand out: 1) When James Belushi picks up Shoeshine at the beginning of the film the dog snaps at his face. How did no one (the director, editor) notice… More
  Typical family fluff but untypically bland for a Disney-backed film. The films has many faults and mistakes but two things really stand out: 1) When James Belushi picks up Shoeshine at the beginning of the film the dog snaps at his face. How did no one (the director, editor) notice this?! And, 2) although Shoeshine is most certainly a boy, when he's CG'd they remove his anatomy. Now I realize this is a family film but dogs have testicles too!!

  This movie was good, with the only purpose of entertaining kids and grown up people too. The adaptation from the cartoon was really good and the plot was convincing and very well developed although the story has some flaws, for example, Sweet Polly was a poodle in the cartoon not a cocker spaniel. The cast wasd good very decent acting from everyone, Jason Lee as the voice of Underdog was very good aswell as Amy Adams as Sweet Polly. James Belushi performance was good, very funny and the best one of all in my opinion was Patrick Warburton as Dr. Barsinister. In conlcusion, a typical family movie, very enjoyable and entertaining.

  Bellieve me the original cartoon was way better. But the live-action version of this is probably another reason why Hollywood has ran out of ideas and making this new version of an old classic is one of the worst of the summer and it shows. First off,the original cartoon from the 1960's was charming and very witty because of the cute and limted animation and Wally Cox's nerdy-but-intrepid readings of now famous lines like "There's no room to fear! Underdog is here." Disney's film version of the classic television show uses a live-action dog with the gravely voice of Jason Lee and trades in the cuteness for lousy pathetical talking dog effects and every bad canine joke known to man. What is even worse is the acting itself. Even Peter Dinklage,in the thankless role of mad scientist Simon Bar Sinister can't keep his dignity while the rest of the film is incredibly offkey and otherwise dumb. In perspective,"Underdog" is right up there with other television shows that have been transported to the big screen that are the garbage of the cimema(see Leave It To Beaver, Bullwinkle, Bewitched, Scooby Doo,and The Honeymooners). If you have kids that are under 10 years of age may find this cute,but in the long run avoid like the plague. Underdog should have worked as an animated cartoon but in all fairness this is a sad,sad,era for children's cimema.

  Original Theme Music: "There's no need to fear! Underdog is here! when criminals in this world appear and break the laws that they should fear and frighten all who see or hear the cry goes up both far and near for Underdog! Underdog! Underdog! Underdog! speed of lightning, roar of thunder fighting all who rob or plunder Underdog. Underdog!" Ok, so anyone that wants to see this movie, who is old enough to comprehend this review, is probably at least familiar with the original cartoon. What is one to expect when it comes to remaking a classic cartoon into a live action movie. Somehow, Disney seems to have a certain grasp fro how to do it. The best example comes from George of the Jungle, but this film does its best to entertain. The premise, as in the series, involves a dog who develops superpowers and becomes a hero of Capital City. One of my fav's, Jason Lee, plays the voice of Underdog and Peter Dinklage is gloriously over-the-top as Dr. Simon Barsinister. Then Jim Belushi is in the movie for some reason, as well as Patrick Warburton, who is always good for a laugh. This is a movie made for kids with little appeal for anyone else, but I couldn't help but enjoy myself for the most part. Its not terrible, but I certainly don't need to see it again. Theme Music Continued: "when in this world the headlines read of those whose hearts are filled with greed who rob and steal from those who need to right this wrong with blinding speed goes Underdog! Underdog! Underdog! Underdog! speed of lightning, roar of thunder fighting all who rob or plunder Underdog. Underdog!"

  Short sweet & straight to the point; I actually forgot this movie existed.

• Panta O

  
  I have to say that it is hard to make a movie for kids and please the adults at the same time... but this movie wasn't enjoyed by the kids, either! Few laughs, great photography, and bad acting... that's all I can remember...

• Juan C

  
  a funny and enjoyable comedy with some stuff that has some difficulties but still is as entertaining as it's humor and wit. B+

• William G

  
  Limp, exceedingly unnecessary live-action version of classic cartoon.

• Sarah P

  
  Really not as bad as I expected. It was a cute story between a boy and his dog (and dad) but it wasn't as cheesy as you would think!

• Sylvester K

  
  The only thing worth watching was none, but it was certainly nice to hear Jason Lee's voice. Blame the bad acting and the bad script.
