Jaycen 'Two Js' Jennings is a washed-up former pro football star who has hit rock bottom. When sentenced to community service coaching the Underdoggs, an unruly pee-wee football team in his hometown, he sees it mostly as an opportunity to rebuild his public image. But in the process, he may just turn his life around and rediscover his love of the game.

FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://fandomwire.com/the-underdoggs-review-dont-show-this-to-your-kids/ "The Underdoggs ultimately fails to justify a recommendation. It's just too many issues to overlook in an already quite generic, formulaic underdog story that never convinces the viewer of the protagonist's redemptive, altruistic behavior. The chemistry between the kids is definitely fun and charming to witness, but the non-stop profanity, a crazy alcohol-stimulated sequence, and so many other terrible messages for young audiences make this movie one to avoid."
