Underdog (2007)

2/5

Underdog as a film is not totally worthless. It's a winner with kids, as is anything with a talking dog.

The essential cartooniness of the plot and the gags works against the rather lame attempt to lather on a message about reconciliation between father and son.

While this idea may have been enough to happily fill 25 minutes, the film version fails to effectively stretch it out to feature-length.

Call me a kid at heart, but Underdog is the cutest doggone fantasy.

At just over 80 minutes it feels not so much like a proper film as a piece of extended filler for slow afternoons on Disney's TV channels.

...an affable, sporadically entertaining piece of work that's ultimately undone by its emphasis on relentlessly silly elements...

Despite the talent on show, there's little to distinguish this from any other bland family comedy.

An ill-conceived and often irritating bout of Children's film fare...

Disney's charmless live-action resurrection of the beloved super-mutt [is] just a bunch of mercenary actors and technicians who can barely disguise their contempt for the film's screenplay

...rather dull and uninspired, lacking in imagination or humorous spark.

A boring and uninspiring adaptation that lacks action and suffers from mostly static characters, Peter Dinklage as the nefarious Dr. Simon Barsinister being the notable exception.

par for the course in a town that sees every old idea as something waiting to be deconstructed, reinvented, or reimagined.

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

The tag line is simply brilliant, but that's about the only thing remotely associated with this film that would classify as such.

The elements of the film don’t quite mesh: The villains are cartoony, but [director] Du Chau aims for soggy family drama in his father-son story.

The film is a smug and contemptuous mess from beginning to end that is likely to bore little kids and aggravate any adult still holding fond memories of the character from their own childhoods.
