Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie isn’t bad by any stretch, but this is the kind of movie aimed squarely at those in the 8-13 age group and while I didn’t the jokes landed that well, it’s passable enough for parents to watch with their kids.

PLOT SYNOPSIS
|
| George (ED HELMS) and Harold (KEVIN HART) are fourth-grade BFFs who love dreaming up funny pranks. One day, they accidentally hypnotize their principal into believing he’s a dimwitted hero named Captain Underpants. But when the new schoolteacher turns out to be a disgraced scientist bent on ridding the world of laughter, George, Harold, and Captain Underpants must band together to stop his evil agenda. |
SPECIAL FEATURES – 2.0/5 |
|
Presumably this comes with a slip cover, though the one received did not. Inside is a DVD Copy and redemption code for the Digital HD copy. Although there’s a fair number of featurettes, these are rather light on content:
|
VIDEO – 4.5/5 |
| Captain Underpants arrives on Blu-ray through Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment, presented in its original 1.85 widescreen aspect ratio, offering bright colors as one would expect from a CGI-animated where detail is sharp and outside of some minor banding though nothing overly distracting in an otherwise clean transfer. |
AUDIO – 4.25/5 |
| The included DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 track is powerful enough for an animated flick with good dialogue levels coming from the center speaker while the front and rears do provide modest depth with ambient noises and Theodore Shapiro’s decent comedic score. |
OVERALL – 3.0/5 |
|
Overall, Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie isn’t bad by any stretch, but this is the kind of movie aimed squarely at those in the 8-13 age group and while I didn’t the jokes landed that well, it’s passable enough for parents to watch with their kids. The Blu-ray release had good video/audio transfers but throwaway bonus material. |
