There are now new concepts here and no one is winning any Oscars.
It's a plotline so threadbare even the homeless won't wear it, but its fun, lighthearted and entertaining. For the most part it's well written and well acted. Snoop Dogg does a great job with the meterial and delivery and he brings much of the content to life with his character and expression.
Yes, there is a lot of profanity, it's Snoop Dogg for Christ sake! What did you expect. Omar Epps is pretty good too, probably one of his better supporting roles to date. The rest of the cast are pretty forgettable though they all deal with the content sufficently well.
If your sensitive about profanity DON'T WATCH IT! It's not for worse if you can't handle kids dropping MF like an OG.

The Underdoggs is a unfunny generic comedy starring Snoop Dogg as a Pop Warner head football coach. The movie has a paperthin predictable story that is not really funny even though it's categorized as a comedy. I'm very curious to know why Amazon Prime decided to pick this movie up. This movie really seems like a straight to dvd movie. Mike Epps who also co-stars in this one provides some much needed comedy and jokes with being only the bright spot to the film. The football scenes in this are pretty standard and nothing to get excited about. Even the football scenes in the Little Giants was more exciting then this. Even though the movie's premise might make you think this is a family friendly movie it's far from it as it's rated R because bad language is thrown in every scene every 2 minutes. The Underdoggs gets a very weak 4 stars out of 10 from me.
I am a long time fan of Snoop Dogg. This is a fun movie that has a lot of salty language from every section of the cast, so, get used to it and be rewarded with some brilliant one liners that will have you laughing out loud!
It's a sports movie only in that it does show what sportsmanship is about - trying your best to win, but being gracious all the way around - just like I envision Snoop Dogg to be in his real life. (Make sure to watch the credits!)
There are two great dogs in it! Pit bulls who are very well behaved and sweet. They are actually kind of funny too...
Is this a movie for kids? Not really. But it is a fun movie for adults who wish their kids' coaches are a bit more like "Two Js".
And an absolute must for any Snoop Dogg, Omar Epps fan. Also a good part for George Lopez too. It fit him well. All around, the cast was fun to watch and root for - or against! Enjoy!

If you liked the movie "Hardball" with Keanu Reeves, you will like this. If you also like Snoop Dogg, bonus points.
Yes, there's a lot of swearing, but what do you expect from one of his movies?
There's even a kick-ass disclaimer at the very beginning about the language 😂
Overall enjoyable, funny, great sports/celeb cameos, and as far as "remakes"/recycled ideas go, this one was done well (I'm not coming for Snoop or anyone involved in the film but let's face it, there's nothing totally original in Hollywood anymore, every flick has at least one reused idea/plot/character-forming "twist")
So spark a blunt or pass the bowl, sit back, and enjoy!

What is with all the foul language coming from the kid characters in this movie? They're also making a lot of sexual/genital references.
The movie itself is not too terrible, but the dialogue coming from such young kids is a bit much. I understand that this is how a lot of kids talk nowadays, but the foul language should have been toned down a bit. I dont think there's a single scene in the this movie that doesnt have curse words. Dont get me wrong, I dont find foul language offensive per se, it's just a little off-putting when there's SO MUCH coming from these little kid characters. Constant cursing all throughout this film and I think this is a very lazy writing style.
Compare the writing, especially the dialogue, with the 90's movie "Little Giants" (an actual kids movie which is very similar) and you'll get an idea of why I give this movie 5 stars. I'm assuming The Underdoggs was made for adults because I personally would not allow any small children to watch this movie. I dont understand why the writers would write a movie that's ABOUT little kids, but is not FOR little kids.
