The self-deprecating tone of the film hits incredibly early.

Thus I spent a huge portion of the film quietly seething, head vein a-pulsing and eyes a-twitching, just waiting for the movie to end so I wouldn't have to smell the remains of my arm rest neighbor's diaper. Any criticism of the film, no matter how valid will inevitably be drowned out by a chorus of people, most of whom haven't even seen the film, yelling "it's Captain Underpants! What did you expect!" I might as well shoot myself in the foot early in this review by saying that part of the reason I didn't enjoy the film was because I was in a theater full of crying children and inattentive parents.

Captain Underpants is one of those movies whose plot, themes and overall approach to its subject matter seems completely beyond reproach.
