Yes...I know...its another talking animal movie--Dog this time.
But let me just say two words: Jason Lee. This actor who has been in some of my favorite movies (Chasing Amy, Dogma anyone?) plays the voice of Underdog.
He is brilliant! This movie is funny, its engaging, its exciting. Yes I know this is Disney movie..but for all those geeks with kids in the Geekdom, you can take them to this film and they will love it. Its not overly violent but there are some fight sequences.
The Underdog special effectsdon't look cheesy. Its a solid family film. Now is it oscar winning material...no..but so what...
If you go to a movie and have a good time, who cares if the Academy liked it or not.
Now I am well aware that RottenTomatoes has a under 30% fresh score for this film. But think about the sources..These are movie critics..They hate everything anyway.
So escape the summer heat and go take this Dog for a walk around your local cinema.
