Air Bud: Golden Receiver

My kids are 5 and 7 and they loved this movie. There is some wonderful slapstick comedy - especially with the pet-snatchers. Sure, to an adult the plot may be unbelievable, but this isn't aimed at adults. The dog is cute, the story is simple, and you feel good at the end. My kids were laughing and bouncing on the couch - a sure sign of a good movie. (Oddly enough, we got this free on DVD in a box of cereal.)

This movie is in line with the first Air Bud. Not many sequels of this nature are tolerable let alone enjoyable. Air Bud: Golden Receiver is a movie that your whole family can enjoy. The movie centers around Josh Framm coming to terms with his mom's return to dating. Josh has to get used to the new man in his mom's life and a new sport for him and Buddy, football. Most people can relate to that being a difficult adjustment no matter how nice the man is. In this case it's the lovable Patrick Sullivan,DVM. The low point of this movie are the lampoonish villians Natalya and Popen. They try miserably to add slapstick comedy to this otherwise endearing film. A very notable scene is between Josh Framm and Coach Fanelli. The parts of Patrick Sullivan and Coach Fanelli were wonderfully casted.

You'll cry, you'll laugh, you'll smile and you'll scream! - it has to be an animal movie! You'll love Buddy, you'll love the story, Jesus Christ, you'll love the whole entire movie!!

I don't know why people didn't enjoy this film = it is excellent! Give me one good reason why you should hate it.

Well, there is this kid, right, and he is new to the town and he loves basketball. And he has just found a dog with the same interests and they are on their way to Basketball Champz!! But is that okay with the mean circus owner? Nuh-uh!!

You'll love this. My rating : 9/10.

Air Bud returns in this movie and lends a hand, or should I say paw to his owner and helps him through the football season. This movie is absolutely ridiculous. It makes no sense at all. Once again Air Bud is better than the human characters. The idea of a dog playing football is stupid. You mean to tell me that the dog never gets tackled and scores a bunch of touchdowns. That dog would be on the injured list in the first game!

I have nothing against the movie itself. But I think this "Air Bud" stuff is going too far. First the dog is playing basket ball, then he is playing foot ball. What's next, golf, tennis, hocky, soccer?! It's just stupid.
