- DdoughnutMay 8, 2025A movie about a grown man running around in underwear should not work but it really does
- RyezooFebruary 15, 2025The animation is fantastic! I read the Captain Underpants books growing up and definitely fond of the source material. This film stays true and is a great adaption. The voice casting was spot on. I loved the way the film unfolded and dug the unique styles used though out! We're talking sock puppets, fluporama, sketch drawings! Most the humor is spot on but not as many laughs as you'd expect. Enjoyable, easy, brisk watch.
- Daniel GustavssonOctober 11, 2024I like childish movies from time to time, but this movie just wasn't very good. Neither for kids, nor adults. The jokes here really fall flat and I mean, who really thinks fart pillows are funny these days?
