Movie Reviews of Underdog
Movie Review: The First Canine Rapper, Underdog, LIVE-ACTION!
Summary: 4 Stars
Back in the sixties, that long-ago age,
An animated super-mutt was truly the rage!
Voiced by Wally Cox, the lovable geek,
The dog always rhymed, whenever he'd speak.
Underdog was the Mighty Mouse of his time,
Saving the city and always in rhyme!
And while some may feel a 'live' update is trivial,
I find this new movie entirely convivial!
Frederik Du Chau directs with a wink,
And the result isn't as silly as many might think!
Jason Lee's voice, while not as nerdy as Cox's,
Is warm and beagle-friendly, whenever he talks!
The animals, not humans, are the stars of this flick,
Although Peter Dinklage's Barsinister is a real kick!
At 4'5", he's teamed with 6'3" Patrick Warburton,
And they steal every scene until the final curtain!
I loved the references to "Superman, the Movie",
And as a sixties kid, I found everything groovy!
Of course, since it's Disney, it carries his stamp,
With a romantic send-up of "Lady and the Tramp".
So Mom and Dad, make your little ones happy,
Buy this doggy gem, and make it snappy!
It's family-friendly, so there's no need to fear,
They'll thank you and exclaim, "Underdog is HERE!"
Movie Review: Excellent family fun
Summary: 4 Stars
This film is perfect for family memebers of all age. Being 47 myself, I thoroughly enjoyed this film. What is great about it is that it takes itself seriously. Being a real person version of the famous Underdog cartoon could have been a silly endeavor and been just another B movie but everyone involved is of the highest caliber and truly takes the task upon them seriously.
The dog playing Underdog is truly adorable and Jason Lee does an excellent job of being the voice of the infamous dog. He is very funny while being very endearing. The dog, through many mishaps I will leave for you to discover, enters the life of retire policeman James Belushi and his teenage son who are dealing with the loss of their wife/mother. James Beluxshi can sometimes be over the top but here he downplays and is very credible as the troubled excop.
The relationship that develops between the boy and the dog - Shoeshine/Underdog is the heart of the film. The pure fact that the producers managed to make a film about a superhero dog that is funny, endearing and has a lot of heart shows the heart that was put into making it.
Hoghly recommend this film for kids of all ages. NEVER FEAR - UNDOG IS HERE !!!
Movie Review: Good clean fun
Summary: 4 Stars
My 7 yr old grandson and I loved this film in theatrical release and we can't wait for the dvd to come out just in time for Christmas. Now remember this is not "Citizen Kanine" in movie making but a good clean entertaining film for all ages. The theme is "Good vs Evil" and some hilarious scenes make this film a solid 3 star movie but I added another star since I own a beagle, named "Under ..."Movie Review: Fun movie, good for kids and everybody else.....
Summary: 4 Stars
Without being too sappy or commercialized i enjoyed this little movie.
Its about time they gave Jim Beluishi a movie part. The evil scientist
and his henchmen could have used some comical music when they appeared
on screen which would have enhanced their characters...
But overall..its fun. Enjoy

We watched this DVD during Christmas eve. We like movies with real animal actors. This move is hilarious. It also has good special effect. Don't expect much from the plot because it's a film for kids. It brought great fun to our whole family. It's the funniest family movie of 2007.
