I was laughing constantly in this movie despite being an adult and most of the kids in the theatre were laughing along with me.

The characters all have the same spirit, the message of the books carry over and perhaps most importantly, the movie shares the same adventurous sense of humour. To my surprise, they change the story around a little but Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie is very faithful to Dave Pilkey's work. I got a chance to read a few of the books when I was younger and while they're very much geared towards kids, the books were pretty funny and surprisingly creative. It works but Krupp gallops out of the office to fight evil with George and Harold running behind him trying to get a handle on the situation. They come up with the idea to turn him into Captain Underpants. Against all the odds, it actually works and he falls under their command. There's little hope but in an act of desperation, George tries to hypnotize Krupp using a Hypno-Ring that he found in his cereal. Krupp sees this as the opportunity to move them into separate classes, effectively destroying their friendship. He's unable to catch them in the act so he has to endure their constant misadventures until the school tattletale Milton (Jordan Peele) records them messing with his project for the science fair.

Principal Krupp (Ed Helms) definitely is in the camp that believes that these two are a menace and he makes it his goal to put an end to their shenanigans. To any adult looking in, they're a pain to deal with but they bring life to their dull and dreary environment. Moving back to George and Harold, their friendship is as close as it gets and they spend their days making these comics and pulling pranks on the faculty. Their favourite character is Captain Underpants and we get an introduction to his comic origin in the beginning. *Minor Spoilers Ahead* George (Kevin Hart) and Harold (Thomas Middleditch) are two elementary school kids that write and animate comic books in their tree house.
