Jaycen "Two Js" Jennings (Snoop Dogg) is a washed-up ex-professional football star who has hit rock bottom. When Jaycen is sentenced to community service coaching the Underdoggs, an unruly pee-wee football team in his hometown of Long Beach, California, he sees it as an opportunity to rebuild his public image and turn his life around. As Jaycen works to transform the foul-mouthed Underdoggs into top-notch champions, he reconnects with his past, including an old flame and few of his ex-teammates and rediscovers his love of the game.

Critics Consensus

Snoop Dogg remains an appealing screen presence and The Underdoggs offers its share of laughs, but this crass youth sports comedy isn't doing anything audiences haven't seen done better before.

There’s still a surprising amount of fun to be had, mostly because The Underdoggs allows the neighborhood and its inhabitants to shine, and everyone is clearly having a blast in this shiny commercial...

If you love Snoop's acting, you'll enjoy “The Underdoggs.” Otherwise, don't bother.

Yes, his thespian range may be pretty limited, but there’s no denying Snoop has a palpable onscreen charisma and a good sense of comic timing that director Charles Stone III skilfully directs around.

Now, I know this movie will not be for everyone. I expect this to be considered a bad movie. For me, as a movie that’s on streaming, it was a good time. It reminds me of direct-to-DVD movies that were rampant in the 2000s until streaming took over.

This is less about proving that Snoop is a good actor and more about showing what a force of charisma he can be with his unique screen presence.

Rated: 6/10

Everyone loves an underdog story, as this film's characters themselves affirm, but Snoop deliberately buries the heart of his tale under layers of intentionally edgy material.

I'm really not sure who this film was made for: 10-12 years might find the language edgy but are too young to watch it. Older children and adults will find the film predictable, boring and childish. It's not funny and the less said about the acting the better. I can only assume it is a vanity project made by and made for Snoop Dogg. Avoid like the plague.

This was a quick and silly movie. Snoop was the obviously highlight. I would have preferred more of a substance and back story, but over all, it wasn’t too bad.

While I have great admiration for Snoop Dogg, this film was only okay at best. It was tough to watch due to its messy story and overly aggressive tone, which didn't align with the narrative it aimed to present.

MANE lemme tell u something this movie was incredible had me cracking up. This move is super relatable its like mighty ducks but adds swag to it the people thats on here saying it dont leave a good message on the younger all that cussing in the locker room in the movie actually happen in real life. All the people that saying bad stuff about this is soft.

it's a typical "underdog" type story, which is always nice, but i don't think they executed it particularly well at all. the acting is pretty stiff & felt like they relied on snoop dogg's vocabulary to carry the whole thing.
