Review: The Underdoggs
The Underdoggs. From the title alone, expectations are clearly set, and Snoop Dogg’s R-rated efforts at family entertainment don’t even try to break the mold. Washed-up hotshot forced to do good? Check. Team of lovable, scrappy . . . outcasts, shall we say, just to vary it a bit? Check. Love interest (Tika Sumpter) who encourages the selfish, self-absorbed fallen star to open up and bond with the team he’s forced to coach? Yep.
The sport in question is football, and Snoop is Jaycen “Two Js” Jennings, a former pro athlete who got it all and long since lost it all. After hitting rock bottom, he’s forced into community service in his old Long Beach neighborhood to coach a peewee football team in the hopes of rebuilding his public image.
