a5c7b9f00b George and Harold are two imaginative pranksters who make the depressing Jerome Horwitz School a better place. They hypnotize their nemesis, the mean-spirited principal Mr. Krupp. He transforms into the incredibly clueless yet kind-hearted and enthusiastic superhero named Captain Underpants. Even without the mean principal, they discover that having Captain Underpants comes at a steep price. Meanwhile, Professor Poopypants tries to eliminate laughter with the school snitch Melvin, and George and Harold discover that there may be more to Mr. Krupp than they had originally thought. 2 overly imaginative pranksters named George and Harold hypnotize their principal into thinking he&#39;s a ridiculously enthusiastic, incredibly dimwitted superhero named Captain Underpants. When I decided to watch this with my movie theatre-working friend, I didn&#39;t really know much of what it was about other than it was based on some books I never read and that it had a satirical bent concerning superheros and kids&#39; imagination in creating them. George and Harold are a couple of pre-teen boys who love comics to the point of creating the title character mentioned above. But the principal at their school has had enough of their pranks and resolves to separate them by having them in different classes. I&#39;ll stop there and just say this was quite funny and maybe a bit touching in how some things get resolved. But the fact the fourth wall is often broken seems a sure sign that nothing is meant to be taken seriously. My friend had seen this before and liked it enough to let me watch it with him. It really tickled my funny bone, that&#39;s for sure! So on that note, I-and he-highly recommend Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie. This movie mildly entertained me and will for sure entertain children and fans of the Captain Underpants series, but for a lot of the time just annoyed me with the how basic the movie came across.<br/><br/>The positives include some of the jokes that were told, which were done effectively and hit the audience I was with very well. Also, the tempo of this movie I thought was right on and the character Mr. Krupp, who I thought was the highlight of this movie with the voice acting and the general idea of the character spot on.<br/><br/>The negatives of this movie mostly apply to the adults who go to see this movie. I personally found this movie very basic and stuff we have already seen before in kids movies, including some of the jokes which kind of fell flat.<br/><br/>Not a terrible movie but there was a lack of new ideas, poor jokes and entertainment for the adults which inhibit this movie from achieving the well roundedness of such filmsZootopia and the LEGO movie series. It’s hard to say the name "Captain Underpants” without smiling, and the big-screen debut of the skivvies-clad superhero (the film’s subtitle is “The First Epic Movie”) maintains that same goofy, innocently naughty nature for nearly its entire running time.
