Truly Dreadful Film
Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible
A waste of 90 minutes of my life
To all of you Air Buddies haters, this is where the series got weird not Space Buddies. It still has the heartwarming feel of Air Bud and Golden Receiver but it's also really weird. I mean, Josh going to college is fine but Air Bud playing Baseball? I get Basketball, Football, Soccer, and Volleyball but you have to hold a bat to play baseball. However, that's not the weird part. The weird part is that Air Bud's grown pups have been kidnapped by a raccoon and some gangsters. I mean, what the heck?! As for my enjoyment, I liked it better than World Pup but it's not as good as Air Bud or Golden Receiver. I'd say it's on par with Air Buddies. (which I did like)
These movies are great for little kids, but I think that they should've stopped after the first one because the ORIGINAL Air Bud passed away of cancer in the leg after the first movie came out. I am surprised that they actually had a sequel, let alone a 3rd one. I like the dog, but c'mon. They're showing things that are impossible. Kids watch these movies. What does this teach them? I know somebody who was like 7 when the movie came out. He threw a basketball on the top of his dog's head and it hurt his dog. In honor of the REAL Air Bud, they should've stopped after making the first one.
Okay, the movie would have been funny if the dog bit the bad guy in the testicals, but instead this dog plays a third sport. Bo Jackson or Deion Sanders didn't play three sports and yet this mutt can. My advise is to save your $15 and go buy the HHH dvd.
Air Bud 4 is the latest in the series about the sports-playing dog, Buddy. This time around, though, it's a little bit different. Instead of teaming up with his regular pal, Josh Framm (played by Kevin Zegers), Buddy teams up with Josh's younger sister, Andrea (played by Caitlin Wachs).Of all the Air Bud movies, I enjoyed this movie's plot the most. It focuses on Andrea and her many "problems": starting junior high school, her brother going away to college, her parents ignoring her in favor of the new baby, and her (at first) pathetic attempts at playing baseball. Unfortunately, Buddy is not as involved in the sports scenes as he was in the first three movies. He really doesn't even play until the near-end of the movie. This makes the pace of the movie a little slow at times. (It's also hard to accept that a dog can be a great baseball hitter.) Of course, being Disney, the movie is predictable and gives off warm fuzzies (which is not a bad thing). The subplot of the scientists is never really explored, which is a good thing; it would have ruined the movie. This is not a movie to rush out and rent/buy (unless you have a wife who loves Golden Retrievers, like mine), but it's a good film to watch when you have some time to spare. I recommend it for anyone who likes this series.
