Film Review – Dog Man

“Dog Man” began life as a spin-off of “Captain Underpants,” as author Dav Pilkey elected to expand his graphic novel universe and refresh its slapstick potential. After a 2016 debut, the series immediately found its audience, and Pilkey has recently released the thirteenth installment of the saga. As with “Captain Underpants,” such success is eventually chased with a big screen adaptation, giving the “supa cop” and his half-canine instincts a cinematic expansion in “Dog Man.” Writer/director Peter Hastings (an animation producer who last helmed a major feature in 2002’s “The Country Bears”) does an excellent job capturing Pilkey’s vibrant imagination and mischievous sense of humor, overseeing a highly entertaining and visually commanding offering. It’s an incredibly playful and snappy movie, and one that preserves most of what makes the book series so endearing and enjoyable. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
