Guilty pleasure endearing entertainment
Underdog is very enjoyable despite its flaws and deserves better for a jolly superhero film! Jason Lee did great as the titular role and I think it's awesome James Belushi is a main character in a dog movie especially since he was in the K-9 films in the 90's. It does what it's made for pure wild fun and simple 83 minutes; that should be appreciated for sure!
THERE IS 1 REALLY GOOD THING ABOUT UNDERDOG.... IT IS REALLY SHORT!
YEP! REALLY SHORT (Just over 75 minutes till the credits!)
There aren't many Disney movies that I really dislike and even fewer dog movies, so despite a personal computer projection of 5.2.*****, I decided to watch it.
The storyline was hackneyed and inane. Despite a few well known cast members, the "Acting" redefined "Over-the-Top".
To be fair to the cast, perhaps this was director Frederick Du Chau's doing. Peter Drinklage (Station Agent) who I usually enjoy watching, was unwatchable. The supposedly "comic" dialogue barely elicited a couple smiles, and sounded as if it had been ghost written by a computer. There was about a minute or two of eye candy in a few scenes with a CGI backdrop of the city. I suppose if you've got kids or grandkids 8 or under who love dogs, they'd get a kick out of it...But I don't see how any adult would....
4**** Stars...ENJOY! / DISFRUTELA! (MUST GO With KIDS!)

Go Back To Your Childhood!
I was shocked to see this movie has got such a low rating!I mean,why in the world would people give a movie like this 4.5 stars!Have they lost their sense of humor? Or the childhood that once resided inside their heart just died somehow? I'm giving this one a 10 star rating..not even thinking whether the cgi effects,or the scripts and whatever were weak or not.I'm just praising this because I found it very entertaining,forget everything else.Just try to watch this as you used to watch TV in your childhood days.If you still like "tom & jerry",you should also like this.And even if you don't like it,your kids are guaranteed to love it seriously.So you should give this at least a respectable rating since it is loved by your kids!(Hang your opinion!)
Actually, it was a pretty good movie.
This movie was fun to watch, even for us adults. The humor was spot on, and the acting was what you'd expect. Jason Lee was great as Underdog's voice. Get this movie when it comes out on DVD. It's worth your while for a few chuckles with the kids. Even though it's aimed at kids, both my wife and I liked it, and honestly, I usually don't like kid's movies. I think they are usually way to low on the intelligence and believability scale. This one, actually had a decent story that didn't stray into stupidity and utter ridiculousness that most kid's movies do. Once again, go see this movie, or get the DVD when it comes out, you can see it again and again.
A very good family movie
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 was good very decent acting from everyone, Jason Lee as the voice of Underdog was very good as well 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 conclusion, a typical family movie, very enjoyable and entertaining.
