Critics Consensus

Underdog is a mostly forgettable adaptation that relies far too heavily on recycled material and sloppy production.

Hank Sartin Time Out Rated: 2/5 Nov 18, 2011 Full Review Joshua Rothkopf Time Out Rated: 3/5 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review Tim Grierson Screen International Underdog works best when spoofing superhero conventions, but the film goes to the dogs thanks to a drab story and frequent stabs at heartwarming bromides. Jul 23, 2008 Full Review Tim Brayton Alternate Ending An odd little time capsule, and that’s better than nothing. Barely. Rated: 1.5/5 Aug 4, 2022 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com A film that is safe for the entire family. Rated: 2.5/4.0 Sep 26, 2020 Full Review Kevin Carr 7M Pictures Underdog as a film is not totally worthless. It's a winner with kids, as is anything with a talking dog.

StarLight F i love this movie it deserves a better rating Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/20/24 Full Review molly k same audience of the smurfs Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/24/24 Full Review Conrad C Underdog clings to its clichés like it is checking off boxes on a formula for a superhero film. Maybe this works for the youngest of audiences, but anyone older will recognize that they've seen this movie before, just without the dogs. As far as talking animal movies go, this one is barely tolerable. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/26/24 Full Review Eye C Wow… I mean it makes you laugh now and then… but technically it’s not good at all. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/21/24 Full Review Nico M Esta pelicula no es la mejor pero entretiene bastante para una tarde de peliculas con palomitas, ademas me rio cada vez que la veo Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/07/23 Full Review Jeffrey M Underdog was an okay movie. It was one of those movies that are interesting and boring at the sane time. Something that confuses me about this movie is how it got a 14% for critics and a 45% for audience. Underdog isn't great, but it still okay. Underdog needs higher rating for audience and critics. What a good movie. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews
