Critics Consensus

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

Tim Grierson Screen International Jul 23, 2008
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. Go to Full Review James Rocarols BBC.com Feb 5, 2008
2/5
At just over 80 minutes it feels not so much like a proper film as a piece of extended filler for slow afternoons on Disney's TV channels. Go to Full Review Anna Smith Empire Magazine Feb 1, 2008
2/5
Despite the talent on show, there's little to distinguish this from any other bland family comedy. Go to Full Review Tim Brayton Alternate Ending Aug 4, 2022
1.5/5
An odd little time capsule, and that’s better than nothing. Barely. Go to Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Sep 26, 2020
2.5/4.0
A film that is safe for the entire family. Go to Full Review Kevin Carr 7M Pictures Aug 17, 2008
2/5
Underdog as a film is not totally worthless. It's a winner with kids, as is anything with a talking dog. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Robert P @Superbad Sep 18, 2026 Underdog = a *2* star Movie! See more Emily G @RT22544877 Sep 7, 2026 This movie is a classic and has good voice acting in it. The story is cliche but never a dull moment. Watched it as a kid and is one of my favorites. Kids Will definitely enjoy it if they love dogs. Superman meets dog. See more Avocado J @Underdogfan158 Aug 15, 2026 I am ten but I will NEVER be to old for golden gems like these I can definitely recommend this for children and other alike See more Kal S @Kalsta Aug 14, 2026 While a talking dog, dressed in a super suit and randomly crashing through buildings, may carry just enough amusement for children, this film does not meet the needs of those doing the ‘parental guidance’. See more Ariel O. @Arquin Jun 14, 2026 Tremenda obra maestra 20/10 y god, una de las mejores películas de perros y de superhéroes Cómo tal no es la mejor pero claro que es una broma maestra para aquellos a quienes marco su infancia Ojalá y nunca la olviden.
