I also appreciate how the Canadian team who made the film managed to capture the look, style and spirit of the Captain Underpants books. And, even though I am supposed to be sophisticated and above all this, I found myself laughing too. But these are exactly what kids really love and I heard lots of kids laughing throughout the movie. You've got Professor Poopypants, comments about Uranus and fart jokes. And, like this character, the principal begins running around town fighting crime .in his underwear! Little do the boys realize that they'll need his help when the evil Professor Poopypants arrives with his latest weapon! Okay I'll admit this does not sound like Shakespeare or Jane Austin. They decide to make him become Captain Underpants the hero in the comic book the boys have created. However, in desperation, George tries out his cheap hypno- ring he got in a cereal box and amazingly it works turning the principal into the boys' slave. As usual, they are up to no good and as usual the mirthless man is about to throw the book at the boys sending them to separate classrooms which is horrible since they are best friends. The story begins with George and Harold being called into their very grouchy principal's office.

My daughters grew up reading the Captain Underpants books and Dav Pilkey's character certainly has been a hit among kids. In order to enjoy the Captain Underpants movie it sure helps if you are a child or if you are a bit childish. However, it is a lot of fun and lighthearted things you'd almost never associate with today's very dark superhero films and reasons you might not want to take kids to see most of the pictures in this genre. However, in all the excitement over this film there is another superhero movie that debuted as well that deserves our attention as well "Captain Underpants"! And, after having seen both films, I have to admit that I enjoyed watching "Captain Underpants" more because it is something few superhero movies are these days .it's fun! Please understand me I am not saying it's necessarily better.
