Jason Lee is... a talking dog?, 16 December 2007
7/10
Author: dobbin-4 from Australia

Now, from the summary you would think I am bagging the casting selection made by the directer of this movie but Jason lee pulls this off magnificently. The movie is about Underdog ( if you did not get that then oops to you), a dog who gets transformed into a super dog after a mad scientists science experiment goes wrong and from there Underdog finds a real family and a cute dog he becomes GOOD friends with, he then has to save the world from the mad scientist that made him super who is going to blow up the city. Jason Lee is wonderful in this film and he is very different from his previous roles such as "My Name Is Earl" and "Stealing Harvard". Overall this movie is a must watch for fans of the original Underdog and even though they have really changed it it is still Underdog as his rhyming self. Also, Patrick Warburton does a great job as the henchmen of the mad scientist and you should see this movie even if only for that bit. Well anyway this is a good excuse to get the kids to just sit down for 90 minutes and also to be pretty entertained yourself. Great special effects for a great movie and a great movie it is, I think it has been severely misrated by lots of people and for those people who did not like it. Why would you have a reason too, this movie kicks butt. I rate it 73%.
