Featured reviews
So, pretty funny and pretty imaginative, I must say.
The animation turned out to be really cool. I like how they went back and forth form the 3D animation to the 2D animation. They even had some sock puppetry. The blend shows the creativity of the child's mind, greatly.
Kevin Hart has the perfect voice for cartoons especially to play little boys.
He plays a kid named George who with his best friend Harold create a comic book called Captain underpants, and when their principal threatens to end their collaboration and with it the future of their friendship by separating them due to all their pranking, so they hypnotizing him into believing he's the character they created.
It's a very wonderful exciting movie to watch. Very funny with great animation.

The plot follows 2 imaginative elementary school prankster students, George Beard and Harold Hutchins (Hart, Middleditch) who hypnotize their mean-spirited principal, Mr. Krupp (Helms), into thinking he is Captain Underpants, a hero in comic books George and Harold write together.
It is absolutely entertaining for adults and enchanting for all children who are looking for comedy and entertainment.
Captain Underpants is DreamWorks' computer-animated feature film and that is why it will be number 1 in most countries of the world.

'Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie' was an overall funny and entertaining experience. Not only is this a fun film for kids but it is fun for any age demographic. There are plenty jokes for the youngsters and plenty jokes for the adults and ultimately, it is fun for all ages. For a movie titled Captain Underpants, it is impressively done well from its humor, to its animation, as well as its production. To be completely honest, I hope this is the start of a fun series that has a plethora of possible sequels in its arsenal. Take your kids, take your partner, take your dog. 'Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie' is a fun and mindless ride from start to finish.

Tra la laaaaa!!!!
The hit children's book series finally makes it to the big screen (what took them so long?) in all its scatological silliness. The film does a terrific job of capturing the spirit and tone of the books, and there's no sense in rolling your eyes at the potty humor, because that's exactly what Captain Underpants is there to deliver. I saw this with my wife and two sons, and let me just say that my kids weren't the only ones giggling throughout.
Grade: A-

When's the last Summer movie that made you embrace your inner twelve year-old? That's why I really liked "Captain Underpants". Even with the move to big-screen CGI, it's still just two best friends, their unwitting super hero principal, and the right amount of potty humor. Seriously, the big fight scene is with a giant toilet.
Maybe it comes down to circumstances. Had I not read a few of the books, not been a parent to a seven year-old fan who loves them (and the movie), things may not have clicked. But they did, and that's what's important.
It feels faithful to the source material, with a lively animation style and hopelessly juvenile dialogue. Not making a sequel to this would be an injustice.
7/10
