I saw this one afternoon on one of the movie channels. I was dubious at first after reading the synopsis on my remote control, but I kept watching and was pleasantly surprised. OK it didn't have an a-list cast but the acting was bearable.
OK it was about a dog playing football and saving the winning penalty. But it is a kids film, meant for children to entertain and amuse, and it entertained me and had its few giggling moments.
I have seen a couple of the 'Air Bud' movies and this is by far the best one. Its easy viewing and kills a few hours. Something to stick the kids in front of, just make sure during the credits you don't hear 'I want a dog!'

After showing off his basketball and football skills, Bud the dog is recruited to join his city's local football team. Meanwhile, he meets Molly, a golden retriever from England, with whom he ends up having five puppies, targets for new "dangerous" bandits. First film in the "Bud" series released directly to video.
The movie is no longer such wonders for children, as Bud 2 was not, and they still put an initiative rating to 10+, aff, if the little ones can't watch it, who will? Now Bud has a little crush, and Josh too, without any charm, it was no wonder that it was released directly to the video, and there are still some franchise films ahead of him... Never give up, discouraged, yes...

This movie is good, but disappointingly is nowhere near as good as the first airbud. The storyline is predictable and cheesey and you don't even see much of Josh Framm's legs! The hot teenage Kevin Zegers is the best thing in this movie.

I suppose that to say this is an all-out terrible movie would be unfair, but it's pretty bad. The sub-Disney storyline involves dogs playing soccer and falling in love (aw, how cute!) The acting isn't bad, but definitely could be better, especially that of young Canadian actor Kevin Zegers, who, during the whole movie, looks embarrassed, like he doesn't even want to be there. Anyway, kids will love it, but parents beware!
I really enjoyed this movie. I have seen most of the other air buds and am wondering what sports they will come up with next. Tennis, Gymnastics? well i am a soccer player and really did like it, especially as a kid. In the movie it also makes a point that no matter what you are you can do anything. Out of all of the Air Buds, this is by far my favorite. I suggest it for family's. Also another good Air Bud movie I liked was Air Buddies. Some people may not like that one because the dogs talk but that was my other favorite. It is more for kids than adults but some may still enjoy it. i don't know what to write so i am just typing stuff sorry. I hope you enjoy this movie and find this helpful.

- Crazy creditsAfter "The End" is displayed you can hear some barking from Buddy. Additional scenes with the World cup players then start at the beginning of the credits. These scenes are a continuation of the film and are basically the followup from Scurry's line about how they should play some time.
