Jaycen "Two Js" Jennings (Snoop Dogg) is a washed-up ex-professional football star who has hit rock bottom. When Jaycen is sentenced to community service coaching the Underdoggs, an unruly pee-wee football team in his hometown of Long Beach, California, he sees it as an opportunity to rebuild his public image and turn his life around. As Jaycen works to transform the foul-mouthed Underdoggs into top-notch champions, he reconnects with his past, including an old flame and few of his ex-teammates and rediscovers his love of the game.

Critics Consensus

Snoop Dogg remains an appealing screen presence and The Underdoggs offers its share of laughs, but this crass youth sports comedy isn't doing anything audiences haven't seen done better before.

Now, I know this movie will not be for everyone. I expect this to be considered a bad movie. For me, as a movie that’s on streaming, it was a good time. It reminds me of direct-to-DVD movies that were rampant in the 2000s until streaming took over.

This is less about proving that Snoop is a good actor and more about showing what a force of charisma he can be with his unique screen presence.

Everyone loves an underdog story, as this film's characters themselves affirm, but Snoop deliberately buries the heart of his tale under layers of intentionally edgy material.
