Matthew Taylor Sight & Sound 08/21/2014
There are few surprises, but the slick visuals, piquant humour and genial feeling for the gaming of yesteryear make it a hardy challenger for the animation titans north of the equator. Go to Full Review Adam Woodward Little White Lies 08/14/2014

Soccer-themed story has strong message, some iffy humor. Go to Full Review Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com 08/12/2015

"Underdogs" isn't remarkable, but as entertainment, it handles jokes and sporting thrill competently, while Campanella fights to work welcome idiosyncrasy into every scene. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Facundo B @RT78377246 Mar 13 This movie is better enjoyed in its original language, it's an amazing movie, the banter between the characters works so well but you have to be an Argentine to REALLY enjoy it See more Joaquín S @RT15575397 Oct 10 Esta película es producción argentina, teniendo en cuenta su bajo presupuesto de 22 millones de dólares y su gran animación que si bien no está a la altura de grandes como Sony, Dreamworks ni Disney, esta obra maestra latina no tiene nada que envidiarles a esas empresas. La historia no es muy buena, pero todo lo demás como animación, bandas sonoras, personajes y construcción de estos mismos, mensaje de la peli, etc, son increíbles. Como argentino me siento muy bien representado con este film y ojalá algún día mi país vuelva a repetir una producción animada de tanta calidad. 5/5 See more Esperanza Margarita S @esperancita Sep 4 ok ahora que lo pienso es algo buena,me gusta tiene un buen sentido del humor y hay personajes divertidos See more Stephen C @bob25009 Jul 13 Funny computer-animated movie for families in 1 hour and 29 minutes!!!!!!!!!!! Rated PG for Some Rude Humor and Mild Action!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In Latin American Spanish and American English audio versions with American English subtitles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more Luis Antonio H @RT53529279 Jun 11 Se podría decir que es la mejor película latinoamericana animada, claro su historia no es la mejor pero lo compensa con buena comedia y sobretodo buena animación, si la animación no es la más impresionante pero tomando en cuenta que en Latinoamérica no se suele hacer animación y la mayoría de las veces cuando se hace sale mal, me parece bien la animación y sobretodo tratar un tema como es el fútbol o soccer que aen Latinoamérica es casi una religión, me parece más que hacertado hacer una película sobre eso See more Guest T @RT44462643 May 11 By no means is this the best movie ever but it is a fun watch See more Read all reviews
