Pretty Good

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Blistering performances.

My kids, (son 10, daughter 9) absolutely loved this movie! They cheered, they laughed and yes they even teared up at times. I don't care what the technical reviews are... Our whole family enjoyed it for exactly what it is...a feel good family movie without sexual innuendo or foul language.

These bad reviews are the problem with critics. Everything is about what they personally like and not an unbiased review. Is this movie The Godfather? No. But it's not meant to be. This is a kids movie and as such, it is very enjoyable.That's not to say there wasn't some things that could have been done much better, and the directing was not all it could be. But it was very sweet with a good message and the talents of the kids were incredible.Corny? Yes? Simplistic at times? Also yes. A fun time with your little ones? Yes, unless you're a cynic who wants their kids to be a hard and ugly as the adult world can be.Fun little kids movie. Nothing more and nothing less and that's OK.

Not a bad movie. Cute kid movie. Reminded me of a Karate version of The Bad News Bears.I took my 11 year old to see a private screening and he really enjoyed it. Kids either like something or they don't. Although they are not "critical" of editing, acting, color, sound .... they are brutally honest.Was it the best editing, no. Best acting, no. But it was a cute little movie that we need more of. No cursing, no inappropriate scenes like some kids movies.Although it was not the best movie I have it seen, I have definitely seen worst. Great little indie movie ... support it!

Underdog Kids is an instruction manual on how to make a really really bad movie:1. Use a lot of clichés in plot and dialog............................. 2. Actors must look like they are acting (badly)....................... 3. Make transition between scenes disorienting. (worst editing ever)... 4. Use very bad music and sounds at inappropriate times................ 5. Frequently use the lowest form of humor (gas)....................... 6. Have a predictable yet illogical ending.............................I had my 13 year daughter watch this movie with me..................... I am hoping she will talk to me again - some time in the future........
