The Underdoggs

There are now new concepts here and no one is winning any Oscars.

It's a plotline so threadbare even the homeless won't wear it, but its fun, lighthearted and entertaining. For the most part it's well written and well acted. Snoop Dogg does a great job with the meterial and delivery and he brings much of the content to life with his character and expression.

Yes, there is a lot of profanity, it's Snoop Dogg for Christ sake! What did you expect. Omar Epps is pretty good too, probably one of his better supporting roles to date. The rest of the cast are pretty forgettable though they all deal with the content sufficently well.

If your sensitive about profanity DON'T WATCH IT! It's not for worse if you can't handle kids dropping MF like an OG.

What is with all the foul language coming from the kid characters in this movie? They're also making a lot of sexual/genital references.

The movie itself is not too terrible, but the dialogue coming from such young kids is a bit much. I understand that this is how a lot of kids talk nowadays, but the foul language should have been toned down a bit. I dont think there's a single scene in the this movie that doesnt have curse words. Dont get me wrong, I dont find foul language offensive per se, it's just a little off-putting when there's SO MUCH coming from these little kid characters. Constant cursing all throughout this film and I think this is a very lazy writing style.

Compare the writing, especially the dialogue, with the 90's movie "Little Giants" (an actual kids movie which is very similar) and you'll get an idea of why I give this movie 5 stars. I'm assuming The Underdoggs was made for adults because I personally would not allow any small children to watch this movie. I dont understand why the writers would write a movie that's ABOUT little kids, but is not FOR little kids.

The Underdoggs is a unfunny generic comedy starring Snoop Dogg as a Pop Warner head football coach. The movie has a paperthin predictable story that is not really funny even though it's categorized as a comedy. I'm very curious to know why Amazon Prime decided to pick this movie up. This movie really seems like a straight to dvd movie. Mike Epps who also co-stars in this one provides some much needed comedy and jokes with being only the bright spot to the film. The football scenes in this are pretty standard and nothing to get excited about. Even the football scenes in the Little Giants was more exciting then this. Even though the movie's premise might make you think this is a family friendly movie it's far from it as it's rated R because bad language is thrown in every scene every 2 minutes. The Underdoggs gets a very weak 4 stars out of 10 from me.

I'm glad I took a chance to watch this movie. Knowing Snoop's history with youth football, I figured it'd be a good watch. It was hilarious and entertaining throughout. Even above that, the kids did an amazing job in their roles. The kids showed that they had greatness beyond their circumstances-beyond letdowns they experienced. I hate to break it to you...but kids cuss. Even when you think they don't. Those underprivileged kids you say you care so much about...oh, a lot of them cuss a lot. I also hate to break it to you that this isn't the end of the world.

Some of the nastiest, most vile things have been said and done towards people without a single curse word. So I'm always peeved by people that let a few curse words keep them from a good story. With the things some kids have to experience (through no fault of their own), cussing is the LEAST of their worries.

Also, there was a warning in the beginning of the movie. You could've skipped the movie and climbing your high horse altogether. For everyone that "dares" to see a movie with kids cussing, the movie had a great underdog message and I think you'll enjoy the movie overall.

Little kids cussing? Why? Feels like it was just used fo cheap laughs. Low hanging fruit. This movie would have benefited so much from a high school football team. You could have had larger crowds and the profanity wouldn't have been so off putting. And I don't even have a problem with profanity but this was just distasteful and took away from the story.

It's like if Role Models and Little Giants had a baby that was raised by Ice Cube. I wouldn't say I was necessarily bad but it wasn't nothing to write home about. Something to watch if you're bored but I wouldn't spend any money on the Snoop vanity project. It was... Ok.
