I watched the movie because when I was younger I enjoyed the books. The premise is two best friends who like playing pranks and drawing comics have a horrible principal. When the principal is going to separate what class they were in one of the kids hypnotized him and got him to believe he's the super hero of their comic book, Captain Underpants. They can switch him back and forth by snapping and eventually they have an evil villain who's the science teacher of the class and he wants to stop laughter all together. The kids and Captain Underpants have to stop him. Not a horrible premise for a kids movies but there are no laughs to be had. It's all fart jokes. I've seen a lot of good kids movies that adults can watch but for me this wasn't one of them. That's probably my own faults because I knew what it would be like and I gave it a go anyways. I did like the animation so for that reason I gave it a better score than I would have.

This film isn't intended for adults, but as a Parent who watches many films with his little boy I found it very entertaining in comparison to many of the others that he likes. The style of Animation is very good, individually identifiable, vivid and very colourful, with different styles of animation adopted throughout for various reasons ...even has sock puppets! Good Voice cast, lots of childish humour, and it has a good use of music (at a good volume ratio to the dialogue, not overly loud), the tune at the credits is very catchy. Check this out, my boy is almost four and has watched this several times since it's release on iTunes.

This film is definitely worth a watch for any fan of the book series. The crisp animation, slapstick humor, and exploration of young imaginative minds, make for a flawed, but fun ride. TRA LA LA LAAAA!

This is not a good movie by any means. The characters are pretty annoying and the animation does not work, despite it trying to pander to the original comics. The voice actors are just unbearable, and you just don't care about the dumb plot. It's not 'The Nut Job' bad but still quite bad in itself.
