DVD Reviews of Underdog

DVD Review: Fun movie
Summary: 3 Stars

I normally don't go it for talking animals flicks but this one is an exception. It is entertaining and a good mix of humor with action. Is it the best movie of this genre? Probably not but it is a lot of fun.

DVD Review: a scratch in CD
Summary: 1 Stars

Unfortunately the CD was defective, something the seller had not noticed. When told about the problem, seller immediately responded, saying money would be refunded when the item was returned. A responsible seller even if the item was a disappointment.

DVD Review: Great Movie
Summary: 5 Stars

My 5 year old son and his 10 & 11 year old brothers just love this movie. There is a lot of action and humor that is family friendly. Its a great movie with a positive message.

DVD Review: GOOD beat but POOR actors ! (cute dog)
Summary: 3 Stars

GOOD beat, POOR actors (BAD actors, BAD acting), and a cute dog! That's the theme of this story. In order to make the dog look cute and lovable everybody else had to be made ugly which I don't think is fare or noble--it destroyed what could have been great movie and made it mediocre back street alley type of flick. The beat was good and the music is smooth...I actually sat through the titles and listened to the song until the very end of the movie.

Over all you will love the music and the dog but hate everything else in this flick if you watch this movie...blue ray helps but a little.

DVD Review: Good For The Whole Family
Summary: 5 Stars

Take a police dog without a good sense of smell, a security guard with a heart of gold, and a teenager in desperate need of direction, and you have all the makings of an extremely good movie. But, then you add a bad guy who is determined to make the world his own, and, well, now you have a fantastic movie.

The jokes? They're good.

The pratfalls? Just as good!

The cast? Simply awesome!

The CGI? Perfect!

This is a must own for any family. It is just as funny and entertaining the second and third time around. And this movie once again proves that James Belushi is one of the nicest guys on the planet. He manages to come across as the typical cool Joe-America!

If you haven't bought this movie, I suggest you go ahead and make the purchase. You will love it!

See ya next review!

Description of Underdog

Studio: Buena Vista Home Video Release Date: 08/15/2008 Run time: 82 minutes Rating: Pg

What happens when mad scientist Dr. Simon Barsinister (Peter Dinklage) and a former police beagle Shoeshine (voiced by Jason Lee) are involved in a fiery lab accident? A dog with superpowers is born (soon to be dubbed Underdog) and Dr. Barsinister becomes a man obsessed with revenge and bent on genetically modifying the entire population of Capital City. An unwitting former policeman Dan (James Belushi) and his son Jack (Alex Neuberger) adopt Shoeshine in hopes of improving their strained relationship and what follows is a typical scene of home destruction by a young dog multiplied exponentially by the incredible strength, speed, and newly developed language skills of one super dog. While Jack and Shoeshine struggle with the conflict between Shoeshine's desire to be a regular dog and Jack's insistence that he use his newfound powers to help people, mayhem reigns in Capital City as Barsinister and his henchman Cad (Patrick Warburton--Emperor's New Groove) wreak havoc on the entire city and Jack's dad, schoolmate Molly (Taylor Momsen), and her dog Polly (voiced by Amy Adams--Enchanted) are all unwittingly dragged into the conflict. Underdog dedicates himself to good, quickly becoming revered as a superhero, but ultimately it will take the combined efforts and understanding of Underdog, Jack, Dan, Molly, and Polly to defeat Barsinister and save Capital City from destruction. Based on the original animated Underdog television series, this live action film is entertaining, if not great. Bonus features include deleted scenes with director introductions, bloopers, a 5-minute glimpse of the logistics of shooting animals and blending live action with animation, and the first Underdog cartoon "Safe Waif." (Ages 3 to 12) --Tami Horiuchi

NOTE: This DVD offers both full screen and wide screen formats, but defaults to full screen with the wide screen option accessible only through the audio option menu.
