Underdog, The Movie
Jan. 29th, 2007 05:56 pmDear fucking lord, no.
Note that you'll have to sit through other previews (including a Bridge to Terabithia that looks iffy, and which I strongly suspect will end with Leslie waking up from a mild bump on the head from the broken swing) first. But the Underdog preview looks like it'll do more to destroy my fond memories of that character than the de Niro Bullwinkle did for Jay Ward's creations.
Screenwriter Adam Rifkin, incidentally, is the maliciously terrible* screenwriting behind Zoom (currently #20 on the Bottom 100 at the IMDB), Mousehunt, and The Chase (the movie the proved that even Rollins can't make a movie any good). And director Frederik Du Chau gave us Racing Stripes and Quest for Camelot. There's no hope for this one, no matter how many fun B-list folks (Amy Adams, Samantha Bee, Patrick Warburton) make appearances.
*No way he could write shit like this without actually hating all of humanity in general, and probably hating me personally.
