That's just the introduction of this review. WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: PG For mild rude humor. Parents will like that it contains no profanity or sexual content (not even mild innuendo) at all. WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT? The film and its humor and action and elementary school-age protagonists will definitely appeal to kids 11 and under. Unfortunately, this all coincides with the arrival of a legitimate super-villain, the school's new science teacher named "Professor P" (voice of NICK KROLL), who has designs on inventing a special laser ray that will rob all humans of their senses of humor. Captain Underpants soon wins the heart of Edith (voice of KRISTEN SCHAAL), the school's quirky cafeteria lady. Caught on hidden surveillance footage, Krupp seizes the opportunity to separate Harold and George and put them into completely different classes.Įager to stay together, the two boys hatch a scheme to hypnotize Krupp and convince him he is their favorite comic-book creation, the good-hearted, eternally valiant Captain Underpants, and they are his faithful sidekicks.


Harold and George eventually go too far, sabotaging the science project of a humorless classmate named Melvin (voice of JORDAN PEELE). They're also a couple of pranksters who love to pull off all sorts of goofy stunts to thumb their nose at the totalitarian rule of Principal Krupp (voice of ED HELMS), a strict, mean-spirited educator who is obsessed with proving the two boys are behind all of the hijinks that have befallen the school over the years. Over the years, they have discovered they both are artistic and have come up with a number of goofy comic books together with George the storyteller and Harold the artist. PLOT: George (voice of KEVIN HART) and Harold (voice of THOMAS MIDDLEDITCH) are a couple of fun-loving grade-schoolers who became fast friends in kindergarten and have been virtually inseparable ever since. QUICK TAKE: Animated Action-Comedy: Two schoolboys hypnotize their strict principal into thinking he is a superhero, and then they run afoul of a very real super-villain. (2017) (Voices of Kevin Hart, Ed Helms) (PG) Despite being the main attraction, George and Harold frequently get lost in all the commotion, leaving Hart and Middleditch with little around which to work their limber voices."CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS: THE FIRST EPIC MOVIE" What’s missing is anything resembling heart and soul, the sort of stuff that makes the audience relate in some way to the characters and their predicament. His dim but enthusiastic alter ego has his work cut out for him with the arrival of Professor Pee-Pee Diarrheastein Poopypants (Nick Kroll), the incoming school history teacher hailing from New Swissland, who actually happens to be a vengeful mad scientist with a secret evil agenda.Ĭobbling together aspects from several books in the series, the screenplay by Nicholas Stoller (last year’s Storks) makes for a zippy origin story, while DreamWorks veteran David Soren, who previously directed the studio’s Turbo, propels the action into overdrive, gleefully breaking down the fourth wall by goosing the CGI with 2D animation, Flip-O-Rama flip-book sequences and even sock puppet renderings.
