Get ready for an over-the-top, prank-filled superhero comedy that families will love.

Directed by David Soren, Captain Underpants is based on a popular book series and stars Kevin Hart and Ed Helms.

DreamWorks put the movie together, and the winded title is  Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie. It’s a light and zippy movie, brimming with jokes, pratfalls, and action akin to a comic book. It’s aimed at kids who also like slightly gross humor and superhero parody.

This raucously subversive comedy for the entire family tells the story of two overly imaginative pranksters, George and Harold. They hypnotize their school principal, Mr. Drupp, into thinking he’s a ridiculously enthusiastic, incredibly dimwitted superhero, Captain Underpants.

I thought all school principals thought they were superheroes.
