Critic Reviews for Underdogs

All Critics (15) | Top Critics (6) | Fresh (10) | Rotten (5)

There are few surprises, but the slick visuals, piquant humour and genial feeling for the gaming of yesteryear make it a hardy challenger for the animation titans north of the equator.

Longer than an actual football match, and it feels it.

Foul.

Daily Telegraph (UK)
Kids still experiencing World Cup withdrawal symptoms may be entertained by this animated oddity from Argentina ... Older viewers may struggle slightly with the wonkiness.

Guy Lodge
Time Out
Campanella's colourful animation jinks past its 2D characters to bury one into the top corner. Or to put it another way: three stars.

Decidedly midtable.

Guardian
Soccer-themed story has strong message, some iffy humor.

Brian Costello
Common Sense Media
"Underdogs" isn't remarkable, but as entertainment, it handles jokes and sporting thrill competently, while Campanella fights to work welcome idiosyncrasy into every scene.

Brian Orndorf

The story isn't much to write home about. But when this animation is at its best - following the ball in a way that traditional forms of cinema have always struggled with - it's visually brilliant and children aged to five to eight will stay with it.

Undoubtedly accomplished enough to warrant such a wide release.

The witty script and banter between the three makes for some very funny moments ...
