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.

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.

I loved watching every inch of its slapstick aside from the profanity and my fair verdict was at least above average for an inspiring one, a cool sports comedy in a drama performed by a rapper which was extraordinary

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.

Rated: C

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.
