Underdog (2007)

MAY DISAPPOINT FANS OF THE CLASSIC CARTOON, BUT OK FOR THE KIDDIES!

I don't want to be too harsh on this little 'kiddies' movie, but lets be honest, 'Under Dog' is a 40 year old cartoon and this movie should have been geared towards adult fans. It would be OK to make it tame enough for kids to enjoy too. Instead, we get a weird reinvention of the old classic cartoon. First off having Jason Lee voice Under Dog was not the best decision as he is so well know from his ' My Name Is Earl' series that I couldn't get the show out of my mind and I expected Crab-Man to pop in at any minute and say "Hey Earl"!.

The FX are done well, but it's a pretty bland movie. It's also a very short film well under an hour an a half.....this is probably a good thing, but I would have felt cheated if I paid $10.00 to see an hour an 10 minute movie(if you don't count the credits)! If you have kids I'm sure they will like it, but if you're an adult looking for some sort of nostalgia....forget it. ;-b June 2, 2008

Fun movie, good for kids and everybody else.....

Without being too sappy or commercialized i enjoyed this little movie.
Its about time they gave Jim Beluishi a movie part. The evil scientist
and his henchmen could have used some comical music when they appeared
on screen which would have enhanced their characters...
But overall..its fun. Enjoy May 8, 2008

The First Canine Rapper, Underdog, LIVE-ACTION!

Back in the sixties, that long-ago age,
An animated super-mutt was truly the rage!
Voiced by Wally Cox, the lovable geek,
The dog always rhymed, whenever he'd speak.

Underdog was the Mighty Mouse of his time,
Saving the city and always in rhyme!
And while some may feel a 'live' update is trivial,
I find this new movie entirely convivial!

Frederik Du Chau directs with a wink,
And the result isn't as silly as many might think!
Jason Lee's voice, while not as nerdy as Cox's,
Is warm and beagle-friendly, whenever he talks!

The animals, not humans, are the stars of this flick,
Although Peter Dinklage's Barsinister is a real kick!
At 4'5", he's teamed with 6'3" Patrick Warburton,
And they steal every scene until the final curtain!

I loved the references to "Superman, the Movie",
And as a sixties kid, I found everything groovy!
Of course, since it's Disney, it carries his stamp,
With a romantic send-up of "Lady and the Tramp".

So Mom and Dad, make your little ones happy,
Buy this doggy gem, and make it snappy!
It's family-friendly, so there's no need to fear,
They'll thank you and exclaim, "Underdog is HERE!"

Underdog - Blueray

We really like the movie. It actually arrived before we thought that it would, which is fine. It was packaged properly and there was nothing wrong with the movie. It was in perfect condition, as I expected it to be.
I will continue to purchase through Amazon in the future. April 7, 2008

Won't play on computer

I got this DVD and it won't play on my computer's DVD player. That's were I play all my DVDs, so I have to say don't buy. If you want to watch, wait for TV. March 25, 2008
