Underdog is a mostly forgettable adaptation that relies far too heavily on recycled material and sloppy production.

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. Feb 5, 2008 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

The lackluster story connects the clichés but leaves the characters isolated. Underdog may have been originally created to sell cereal for General Mills, but this latest incarnation couldn't sell Frisbees at a dog park. Aug 6, 2007 | Rating: 1.5/5

Underdog works best when spoofing superhero conventions, but the film goes to the dogs thanks to a drab story and frequent stabs at heartwarming bromides. Jul 23, 2008

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. Jul 16, 2008 | Full Review…

While this idea may have been enough to happily fill 25 minutes, the film version fails to effectively stretch it out to feature-length. May 18, 2008 | Rating: 1.5/5 | Full Review…
