The Underdoggs Review

‘The Underdoggs’ has Snoop Dogg fumbling a rude football comedy. Tika Sumpter and Mike Epps are also among the cast for the movie, which aims to do for American Football what ‘The Mighty Ducks’ did for kids’ hockey.

Premiering on Prime Video January 26th, ‘The Underdoggs’ is essentially an attempt to build an R-rated, foul-mouthed comedy that borrows heavily from ‘The Mighty Ducks’ around Snoop Dogg. But is it a format that works in a sphere where such comedies aren’t as prevalent (even with the success of movies such as ‘Joy Ride’ last year)? And even with a jokey disclaimer at the start that advises you to chill about the language because children aren’t supposed to watch anyway, does that justify this essentially being a kids’ underdog sports movie with liberal use of the F-word?
