Underdog (2007) 7/10

Starring : Jason Lee, Peter Dinklage, James Belushi, Patrick Warburton, Alex Neuberger
Director : Frederik Du Chau
Running Time : 82 mins

A failed police dog (Lee) is involved in a bizarre accident which not only gives him super powers such as super speed, strength and flight but also gives him the ability to communicate with humans. Unfortunately mad scientist Dr Simon Barsinister (Dinklage) knows about the dog’s powers and wants to capture him so he can steal his powers and use them for his own nefarious schemes.

This was actually an oddly enjoyable kids movie, with lots of over the top slapstick, mostly from Dinklage and Warburton. Lee voices Shoeshine the dog with his usual laid back approach, which works pretty well in the setting of the movie. Definitely one the kids will enjoy, and most adults will find something to chuckle at throughout the movie.
