The Captain Underpants movie is great. It is a hilarious, child-friendly film based on the Captain Underpants books by Dav Pilkey. The single thing that made me not put five stars is the fact that there is a bit of romance between Mr. Krupp and a maid, but things don't get too heated, even though the film ends with a date.

Jun 2, 2017 · Films as knowingly goofy and childish as “Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie,” a DreamWorks feature about two friends who create an unlikely superhero and battle a super-villain to save their school, don’t get nominated for Oscars, even for Best Animated Feature.
- One of this year’s biggest genuine surprises.

20th Century Fox’s animated adventure Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie tells the story of a grouchy principal who turns into the underwear-clad, super-powered invention of his two least favorite students. Based on Dav Pilkey’s children’s books of the same name, this screen adaptation manages to live up to the standards set by its source material.
The film is, basically, a superhero origin story. It follows best friends George (Kevin Hart) and Harold (Thomas Middleditch), two overly imaginative kids whose constant pranks have made them an enemy of their school’s principal, Mr. Krupp (Ed Helms). When Krupp threatens to separate them permanently, George and Harold accidentally hypnotize him into believing he is actually their dim-witted superhero creation, Captain Underpants.
While the situation originally leads to various fun, tongue-in-cheek antics, George and Harold wind up needing Captain Underpants to save them when a new supervillain, Professor P (Nick Kroll), shows up with the goal of erasing the sense of humor from every living being on the planet.
Thanks to a top-notch screenplay by Nicholas Stoller, Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie manages to be both a faithful adaptation of Dav Pilkey’s source material and a fun-filled animated adventure suitable for all ages.
