An average movie

To be honest, I wasn’t expecting much from the damned thing but since it was produced by DreamWorks Animation, I thought I might as well check it out. Indeed, since this movie had been more or less a flop at the box-office and, with such a seemingly lame title, I was pretty sure it would be really weak. However, I have to admit that I was actually rather pleasantly surprised. Sure, it still didn’t reach the level of the most average Pixar productions but, at least, it was miles better than the abysmal ‘The Boss Baby’ also released in 2017 by DreamWorks Animation. Basically, it turned out to be a really daft animated comedy and its whacky humour actually worked fine. I also enjoyed George and Harold, above all they had such a good chemistry together and their relationship was pretty neat.  Concerning the story itself, even though the way Mr. Krupps suddenly became Captain Underpants was pretty cool, they did struggle to further develop the story from this point though. Indeed, even though this transformation was pretty cool and unexpected, it also turned out to be terribly unpractical, something which was pointed out by the main characters almost right from the moment it happened. Basically, it was funny for 2 minutes but, to build up the whole plot around this idea was a little bit too much. Furthermore, from the moment that Captain Underpants basically came to life, the whole thing became increasingly messy and chaotic but it was also definitely part of its charms. Anyway, to conclude, even if I had some really low expectations, I have to admit that it turned out to be a decent watch after all and it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
