Snoop Dogg is going from frolicking through fields of green to laying down the law on a football field in Prime Video’s The Underdoggs trailer! Charles Stone III directs this R-rated comedy featuring world-famous rapper Snoop Dogg as Jaycen “Two Js” Jennings, a washed-up ex-professional football star who has hit rock bottom. When Jaycen is sentenced to community service coaching the Underdoggs, an unruly pee-wee football team in his hometown of Long Beach, California, he sees it as an opportunity to rebuild his public image and turn his life around. As Jaycen works to transform the foul-mouthed Underdoggs into top-notch champions, he reconnects with his past, including an old flame and a few of his ex-teammates, and rediscovers his love of the game.
Danny Segal and Isaac Schamis wrote the script, with Tika Sumpter (Sonic the Hedgehog, Ride Along, Southside with You), Mike Epps (Next Friday, Resident Evil: Apocalypse, The Hangover), Andrew Schulz (Write When You Get Work, A Christmas Feast, You People), and George Lopez (The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl 3-D, The Spy Next Door, Valentine’s Day) starring alongside Snoop Dogg as primary cast members.
While The Underdoggs trailer has Snoop’s new comedy looking like a wholesome family film, the feature is rated R for pervasive language, sexual references, drug use, and some underage drinking.
Snoop’s passion for football extends outside the upcoming Prime Video comedy, with the Doggfather as the founder of a premier youth football league. Founded by Snoop in 2005, the Snoop Youth Football League (SYSF) began as an afterschool program in Los Angeles to help keep kids off the street and focused on their goals. The program encourages young athletes to go beyond their limits, reach for the stars, and live the dream of playing football in front of cheering crowds. Each year, one team is selected for an opportunity to ride on an airplane, travel to states they never dreamed of, and play in the most prestigious stadiums in the United States.
