Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.0|5.0

Underdogs suffers from flat,
unrelated scenes and a disconnected storyline that has tendency to place high
emphasis on less important details while failing to address and highlight the
main theme of the movie. The storyline is splattered with completely irrelevant
scenes such as foosball figurines jumping on a rock and playing soccer when
there is an immediate crisis of saving their human master’s girlfriend that has
a much higher priority. Due to these interruptions, the underlying story repeatedly
gets lost in the distractions.
Storyline
Expert
Foosball player Amadeo (voice of David Masajnik) finds that winning a game can
have serious consequences in later life.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?
No.
There are better films out there like Zootopia
or The Nut Job. If studying the
Argentine culture, it may be worth a comparison study to see if Argentina
typically produces entertainment with the same disconnectedness that this film
uses.
