Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie

CHASE **1/2
Out of all the movies that have come out so far this year, "Captain Underpants" has got to be the most difficult to get a grasp on.  Growing up, I was a huge fan of the books that it was based off of and Dreamwork's adaptation is surprisingly faithful. The best way that I can describe this movie is to imagine that it was written by some elementary school kids, and I mean that in a surprisingly positive way.  There is a 10-year-old part of me that enjoys and laughs at this movie, but there's also an adult side of me that felt like I'm too old for this story.  This leads me to the middle ground that, for what it's worth, had me kind of enjoying it.  It helps that the animation style really fits the tone of the movie and while I wasn't the biggest fan of having adult actors playing the kid characters, I got used to it after a while.  Overall, "Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie" is an odd one, but I do think it has some merit that makes it kind of good.  If you want to feel like a kid again, this is probably good one to check out.
