There’s still a surprising amount of fun to be had, mostly because The Underdoggs allows the neighborhood and its inhabitants to shine, and everyone is clearly having a blast in this shiny commercial...

If you love Snoop's acting, you'll enjoy “The Underdoggs.” Otherwise, don't bother.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 31, 2024

Yes, his thespian range may be pretty limited, but there’s no denying Snoop has a palpable onscreen charisma and a good sense of comic timing that director Charles Stone III skilfully directs around.

While enjoying something like The Underdoggs requires a certain mindset (or maybe a slightly altered one), it's another example that there's still a place for broad comedies, even when they operate from the most familiar of playbooks.

Not good but I love that 30 years after Snoop Dogg was deemed a terrible influence on me. I can share this movie casting him as a role model with my kids.

“The Underdoggs” isn’t memorable, but it is a bit of fun for an afternoon. You could even multitask while watching it and not miss a beat.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 26, 2024

Snoop can barely focus on playing a character designed to be as much like his off-camera persona as possible, but he is an able performer and this basic underdog story benefits from being so evidently dear to his heart.

| Original Score: B- | Jan 26, 2024

The Underdoggs is thin on plot, character and most other tenets of filmmaking, but it's heavy on laughs, so it meets its goal.

| Original Score: B- | Jan 25, 2024

There’s not a single surprise along the way. But there is the comfort of familiarity operating in the movie’s favor. And it’s fun.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jan 25, 2024

What we’re left with instead is the occasional chuckle from Mike Epps as the hapless class clown he usually plays, and the vague outline of other movies that have done this story with more charm.

The results, perhaps suprisingly, are far from disastrous and ultimately quite endearing, though parents should be forewarned of a movie that drops more f- and b-bombs than all the ordnance released during World War II.

Snoop has obviously made a real-life impact in his community. Too bad he couldn’t make one in reel life as well.

| Original Score: 0/4 | Jan 25, 2024

There’s only so much that director Charles Stone III can do with the script’s “head held high” cornpone.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 25, 2024
