    This digitized update, with Jason Lee as a huskier, more generic Underdog, mostly drops the doggerel, but the endearing airborne-beagle effects help to offset the formula twists.

    The movie isn't nearly as bad as you would expect when the studio holds its only press screening the night before a national opening.

    The bite and bark of Underdog are both pretty awful, but little kids might take this pooch for a walk.

    A waste of six dollars plus popcorn. The plot was predictable and the acting was worse than Gigli. Do yourself a favor and spend the time on a funnier movie that at least has some originality.… Expand
