Underdog
Dir: Frederik Du Chau
2007
**
Compared to the charming little cartoons of the 60's, this is a horrible and unnecessary live action version. However, I like dogs and I like this Dog especially. It's a shame about the humans really, although Patrick Warburton is good, Peter Dinklage hams it up a bit too much and James Belushi displays none of the humour or likability that I'm sure got him hired in the first place. I don't blame the actors though, I blame the direction and the awful script. I'm not sure Jason Lee was the best choice for the voice of Underdog either, I kept thinking My Name is Earl throughout the entire film. For what its worth though, there are far worse Doggy films out there.
