Summary: Air Bud
Review: I think Air Bud is one of the finer movies Disney Studios has made. It's a refreshing change from the R-rated rot that is often flashed on the silver screen today. Anyone who has helped train hunters or has been around guide dogs can appreciate the willing intelligence coupled with the magnificent training of the star of the show.

Summary: The Start of a Repetitive Sellout Vehicle
Review: Its a good thing I was 9 when I saw this, because if I had seen it now, I would have been gasping for air. Some smart visionary (uh huh) had an idea to completely dominate the direct-to-video market, and this is it.

This is the main formula that has sinced fueled other cheesy "movies" in just a few variations: Lonely kid with cheap haircut finds stray/abused animal with super athletic powers. Surprisingly, both get on basketball/football/soccer/etc. team, animal steals show, boy is left in the dust, but his loneliness suddenly disappears...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A proper review for a lost soldier
Review: KNX Radio was able to sum up Air Bud in one word: "irresistible". How dare they unleash such a paradoxical statement onto a society as frail as ours. Although I agree with KNX Radio that Air Bud is indeed "irresistible," who are they to have the audacity to limit such an inspirational and proficient epic to only one word. Listen KNX Radio, listen close, for that sound you hear is Lucky rolling in his grave. I will never apprehend how such a felonious act as this was hatched but alas it indeed was. Although I yet cannot change the past, I can surely disencumber some of the pain by giving Air Bud a more fitting review.

Before I get to my review let me just include this disclaimer, because the movie does not take the obligation or accountability to do so itself. After viewing "Golden Receiver" the sophomore effort in this great saga of the Air Bud films, I was compelled to emulate my favorite actor Lucky who plays Bud by including my pet Dotson, Little Buddy, in a sociable game of varsity football. You should have heard Little Buddies yelps and whines of joy as he was the recipient of a few hard tackles. I was overcome with elation when I noticed that sparkle in his eye, until I perceived that the aforementioned sparkle was blood leisurely oozing from his eye sockets, not to be overshadowed by the bruised duodenum and descending colon, found in the epagastric region of his abdomen, that he suffered due to the game. Even with Little Buddies lackluster showing, my obstinate, obdurate and stubborn will would not let me give up on Lucky's legacy. With football not being his choice sport, I decided to enroll Little Buddy in a game of dodge ball which proved to be a fatal oversight when the sixty mile per hour projectile proved to be perplexing for Little Buddy to nab, due to the commensurate size between him and the ball and due to his lack of opposable thumbs unlike some of the ape geniis which may also be endowed with a prehensile tail to abet them in their arboreal tomfoolery and hijinx. What ensued after the impact was much too jarring for words, and this is coming from a man that roved the phlegmatic, unforgiving streets of Skokie, Illinois with nothing but his hopes and dreams. So please learn from my askew and leave these actions to the pros like Lucky.

If at the completion of the film you still have an enduring yearn for more Air Bud (aka Lucky), you can note some hypnotic antics on the blooper reel. My two most beloved bloopers are when Lucky defecates on the basketball court and when he mounts the director from behind and attempts to procreate with him through his trousers. Also be sure to note the deleted scenes which display a scene cut to preserve the PG rating. In this scene Air Bud is shown charging a fan in the crowd after sustaining impact from a cup of beer. If you still have a hankering for more Air Bud, you can catch his E! True Hollywood story which chronicles his rise and fall to fame and touches on his shocking addiction to heart worm pills which led to other drug abuses which ultimately led to his untimely death. Ironic that a dog named Lucky would die of cancer.

I bestow this epic with 5 out of 5 stars even though I find conflict in a film with a PG rating that features the star through-out showing full frontal nudity. Let me leave you with this before my review of the film. I hope through posthumous releases, akin to the late great Tupac Amaru Shakur, Lucky can fetch us as much joy in death as he did in life. Now a review that can honor Air Bud in a much more fitting way than the one word caper that KNX Radio had the nerve to spew from their vocal orifices.

Air Bud "Very Irresistible"

T.I.P. (Thug in peace) Lucky, Little Buddy, and Tupac

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: excellent action,suspense,drama. A real heart warmer
Review: My son and I have watched the movie at least 100 times(if you have a three year old you know what that is like). This movie is one you really don't mind watching with the kids. It's made for everyone to enjoy.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good cheesy and predictable movie
Review: Nice movie for kids, even for adults, if you're in the mood for a cheesy and predictable plot. I knew exactly what to expect when I watched this movie, and I wasn't disappointed. The plotline is tired, you've seen it all before, but the dog is likeable and there are a lot of gratifying tear jerking moments in this film (with ultra dramatic music of course), and this is exactly what a movie like that is supposed to do. So if you like dogs or are in a mood for a cheesy feel-good movie, give Air Bud a try.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Air Head
Review: Okay kiddie flick starts out fine but quickly degenerates into sugary territory as the big game comes up, and the dog's original evil owner wants him back. Padded courtroom climax does not help.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Disturbingly relevant in today's post 9/11 climate
Review: Other basketball films (White Men Can't Jump, The Air Up There) have tried to allude towards racial/nationalistic equality in sports, but this one takes it as far as you can go and then run's with it dawg - or I mean DOG. Air Bud (R.I.P.) taught me and my family a lot about not believing stereotypes like dogs can't play hoop. I'm down with racial unity and I'm down with Air Bud 1 and 3 (not 2).
