Les Copains dans l'espace

It sickens me that "supposedly" grown adults have to whine and complain about a KIDS movie. You attempt to apply adult logic to a movie that was intended to be what you hated most about it. If you don't like it, don't watch it. As for my children and I, we loved it and recommend it to anyone (child or adult) who wants a fun, family movie. Most of the movies made today are junk and my wife and I filter what our children watch. It's refreshing to see a movie that is made for children and includes concepts that they can understand. I'm sorry that you have to make yourself feel better by attacking a movie that wasn't "science based" or "had horrible acting" and was intended to be such. Next time you have an opinion, make sure you put it where it belongs, in the trash.

Again, I am puzzled by those on this site who review children's movies as if they should be "Citizen Kane." I just got done watching Space Buddies with my 6 year old son, and we both fully enjoyed it. The plot, while inconceivable, was engrossing for my son, and cute for me. There were enough funny lines and situations to keep both of our interests throughout the film. We have never seen one of the Air Bud movies, but will check them out now.

My son's favorite line, being a HUGE "Star Wars" fan, was when the spacecraft was approaching the moon, one of the dogs said, "Ah, it's the Death Star!" My favorite part of the film was Deidrich Bader, who I find funny in anything he's in. Get that guy a TV show, already! Plus, my son enjoyed that Bill Fabberbake was the voice of Patrick on SpongeBob.

If you are a parent looking for a movie, rent this, and enjoy like I did. You shouldn't be disappointed.

Space Buddies is just plain cute and fun. Parents with younger children don't have a lot to choose from these days and the lack of swearing, sexual and drug references make it a perfect choice for the little ones to watch anytime Mom or Dad need a break.

As in all of the Air Bud and Air Buddies franchise films, there are lessons to be learned. Lessons about cooperation, teamwork, friendship and tolerance, responsibility and following rules. Despite all of that the movie is not preachy, the puppies are cute and personable and every child is sure to have a favourite. I especially appreciate that they did not use adults speaking in baby-talk as the voices of the puppies but have child actors doing the voices.

I recommend this movie to parents & grandparents of small children and babysitters everywhere.

Space Buddies

Dogs are the worst animals to launch into space on account they chase every comet they see.

Unfortunately, the shuttle carrying the canines in this family- comedy is incapacitated.

Golden retriever pup Buddha (Field Cate) and his newborn buddies: Mudbud, Rosebud, Budderball and B-Dawg stowaway on an experimental rocket ship and are unknowingly launched into space.

But when they run out of fuel, their ship must dock at a Russian space station, where a cosmonaut (Diedrich Bader) and his dog (Jason Earles) have been living in seclusion. While the Russian wants to stay his dog doesn't, so the buddies formulate an escape.

The third entry in the Air Bud spin-off, this 2009 offering is on par with the previous installments, save for worse special effects and storytelling. However, the Buddies are still adorable.

Moreover, if they make it back, the Buddies will be the first dogs to ever return from space.

Well, it looks like there's a fair number of people who are defending this film and I am certainly not one of them. I don't like the argument that you should lower your standards just because it's something made for kids. While not a good movie, "The Adventures Of Elmo In Grouchland" did a far superior job of having more interesting characters, backgrounds and everything else. In fact, I might have just given this a 3 out of 10 if not for this one major factor: fart jokes. Yeah, I tried to avoid the first one but in one of the latter parts of the movie, they actually have the dogs fart because they need his methane gas.

I don't even think that was a joke. It was meant to be something serious. There's this one character who suddenly becomes a villain out of absolutely nowhere. The visuals are simply terrible. Whenever the pups are on the Moon, you can easily tell they're just ugly CGI models. The worst thing about the movie is probably the lip movement. We get these creepy lines coming from their mouths. Look at the "Babe" movies and see how they did it much better. I guess it didn't help I hadn't seen most of the other movies. This was a sequel or I guess a spin off of Air Bud. Disney stopped making direct to video animated sequels at this point but they still had some awful live-action ones left.

Why even put talking animals into the mix? The original "Air Bud" was mediocre at best and didn't need these constant followups. The characters in this are just not smart. There's a scene where a kid can literally just use this machine to put on a spacesuit. Why would anyone have a machine turned on during a tour that just immediately gives you one of those? Shouldn't they maintain their equipment better? It gets rather dumb when we see five dogs do it. Learn the first time. This movie features a cosmonaut who looks like one of the Geico caveman and boy, is he obnoxious. I think even people who liked the other ones didn't care for this. Even for this length, it went on too long. This is why I'm a "Gravity Falls" fan. *
