What to Know

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.

Andrea Thompson Chicago Reader 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... Feb 3, 2024 Full Review Robert Levin Newsday If you love Snoop's acting, you'll enjoy “The Underdoggs.” Otherwise, don't bother. Rated: 2/4 Jan 31, 2024 Full Review Leslie Felperin Guardian 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. Jan 28, 2024 Full Review Julian Lytle RIOTUS 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. Rated: C Mar 6, 2024 Full Review Aaron Neuwirth We Live Entertainment 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 Feb 8, 2024 Full Review Jennifer Green Common Sense Media 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.

Michael W 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. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/16/24 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/18/24 Full Review Mick M 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. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/22/24 Full Review charlie c 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/16/24 Full Review Courtney K 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. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/11/24 Full Review Cheyenne W One of the funniest most enjoyable past time movies to watch that's come out recently. Highly recommend!!!
