WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Elementary school students George Beard (Hart) and Harold Hutchins (Middleditch) are best friends who enjoy spreading joy at their miserable school, and making comic-books with their imagined superhero Captain Underpants. However, when the mean Principal Krupp (Helms) threatens to separate the two, they come up with a plan to hypnotize him and turn him into Captain Underpants, which turns out to work far better than either of them could have imagined…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

The highly popular children’s book series gets adapted by DreamWorks Animation into this chaotic, laugh-out-loud family romp with as much silliness and hilarity as one remembers from the books.
