- Not overly creative, but mildly fun
The movie tried to do its best with the original material. They kept Underdog a dog, Polly a dog, and Simon a human. However, Shoeshine is a wise-cracking dog and not a humble shoeshine dog/boy? The movie does has some mild chuckles. The movie plays up looking at the world from a canine point of view pretty well. I was disappointed they made the Underdog theme song a rap. There is a "Scrubs" episode where the song was sung acapella by a barbershop type group. It worked very well. The movie didn't do anything really creative. The actors were ok. The plot was predictable.

In summary, the movie was ok. The humor is the strongest part of the movie and the canine/human relationship works somewhat. Don't expect too much and definitely rent don't buy.

- Excellent family fun
This film is perfect for family memebers of all age. Being 47 myself, I thoroughly enjoyed this film. What is great about it is that it takes itself seriously. Being a real person version of the famous Underdog cartoon could have been a silly endeavor and been just another B movie but everyone involved is of the highest caliber and truly takes the task upon them seriously.

The dog playing Underdog is truly adorable and Jason Lee does an excellent job of being the voice of the infamous dog. He is very funny while being very endearing. The dog, through many mishaps I will leave for you to discover, enters the life of retire policeman James Belushi and his teenage son who are dealing with the loss of their wife/mother. James Beluxshi can sometimes be over the top but here he downplays and is very credible as the troubled excop.

The relationship that develops between the boy and the dog - Shoeshine/Underdog is the heart of the film. The pure fact that the producers managed to make a film about a superhero dog that is funny, endearing and has a lot of heart shows the heart that was put into making it.

Hoghly recommend this film for kids of all ages. NEVER FEAR - UNDOG IS HERE !!!
