(1 - 20) of 20 OFCS Rating: 5% Rotten Page   1   "'Underdog' features some amusing antics by a very cute Beagle in the title role, but it's not quite the treat I expected."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker 0/4 "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"   Film Freak Central   Bill Chambers 1.5/5 "Underdog is so piecemeal it should come with a roll of duct tape. It's so desperate to be everything to everyone that it ends up being very little to nobody in particular."   PopMatters   Bill Gibron 1.5/5 "par for the course in a town that sees every old idea as something waiting to be deconstructed, reinvented, or reimagined."   Filmcritic.com   Bill Gibron C+ "Apparently, the idea of a beagle in a red sweater fighting diminutive Peter Dinklage wasn't enough to power the laugh department, so we have our hero cracking wise about everyday dog problems like eating vomit or poop."   eFilmCritic.com   Brian Orndorf 2/4 "...an affable, sporadically entertaining piece of work that's ultimately undone by its emphasis on relentlessly silly elements..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 2.5/4 "A big-hearted movie that delights in playing with the conventions of superhero pictures. In the same week when the insulting Bratz is also opening, it's a comparative godsend."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman D+ "Hollywood once again demonstrates its ability to take a mediocre idea and destroy what little potential it had. They offer a graduate-level course in this skill at Disney University."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 2/4 "An ill-conceived and often irritating bout of Children's film fare..."   Cinema Crazed   Felix Vasquez Jr. 2/5 "A children's movie about a superhero beagle that recycles material and themes we've seen far too often in Hollywood movies."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 4/10 "...rather dull and uninspired, lacking in imagination or humorous spark."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio 2/4 "A live-action version of the 1960s-70s cartoon "Underdog" seemed a really bad idea, but it turns out it was merely a bad idea."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik 2/4 "The tag line is simply brilliant, but that's about the only thing remotely associated with this film that would classify as such."   Mr. Brown's Movies   Michael Dequina 2/5 "The screenplay, tackled by three people, follows the formula of the show (and the genre in general) rather well. If only it wasn't so stale."   Film Threat   Michael Ferraro C "There may be no need to fear now that Underdog is here, but there is no reason to feel very happy, either."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 1/5 "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."   eFilmCritic.com   Peter Sobczynski 1.5/4 "A film like Underdog is best defined by its complete lack of distinction."   Slant Magazine   Rob Humanick "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."   Movie Views   Ryan Cracknell 2/5 "Just stick with a double feature of Babe and Superman. Now that's a family movie night."   Cinematical   Scott Weinberg 1.5/4 "Yet another misbegotten live-action remake of a beloved Saturday morning cartoon, Underdog is a negligible family film that's so blandly formulaic, it makes the original, '60s-era cartoon look downright edgy in comparison."   Reel.com   Timothy Knight  (1 - 20) of 20 OFCS Rating: 5% Rotten Page   1
