Summary: Stupid!
Review: The first Air Bud was great, the second was alright, but not as good, and this one was really bad! The Brittish accent was really fake, and so was the game of football. Josh's sister was a really bad actor, and so was the girl with big teeth. They have a different dog to the original one, and I liked the first Buddy. I don't recommend this to anyone, but you might want to buy the other two. Also, why was Buddy playing for the USA womens? I thought he was a boy. This is totally unrealistic.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not the greatest movie I've ever seen...
Review: The first Air Bud was one of the greatest movies I've ever seen. The story was great, and the movie was both funny and touching.

The second? Umm... not so great.

The third? Not good. It looks like it was just made to continue the story, which in this movie is somewhat absent. The point of the first movie was that a lonely boy is befriended by a dog - excellent story. Third movie: the boy falls in love. Not a good story. Skip this one, is my advice.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Charming But Not Serious
Review: The original Air Bud dealt with a lot of serious issues. Josh had lost his dad, he moved to a new town and had no friends, he had to confront Buddy's original owner, and he had to chose losing Buddy to protect Buddy. World Pup is so devoid of serious moments that one wonders at some of the characters.

Both Buddy and Josh find love interests in this movie. Things start with Josh's mother remarrying. Josh joins the soccer team in order to be closer to, and possibly make points with, a girl he is attracted to.

Two shady characters are out to get Buddy and Buddy's love interest (and later, their puppies of which there are six and not four like pictured on the cover).

There are plenty of good dog moments and the lack of seriousness means parents will not be tempted to skip over any scenes. But there are two things that don't make sense.

Who are the bad guys, what are they really up to, and how can they make any money at it if it takes them many months just to get at Buddy and family?

As in Seventh Inning Stretch, Josh's parents go to the big game and find out Josh is missing (as is his girlfriend and Buddy). What do they do? They watch the game! Can you believe it! They show no concern for a missing child (at least in SIS they have a few lines about wondering where they could be). The way the mother was portrayed in the first movie, she should have been turning the town upside-down looking for Josh. Not a good portrayal of a loving family.

But, all in all, the movie is fun and appropriate for younger children (my four-year-old loved it).

Summary: Good Movie, Okay DVD
Review: This Air Bud movie is pretty good. It has new characters and new storylines. The dogs and puppys are great and it has the usual bad guys. This time it is about soccer. Overall great movie and okay DVD. It is in fullscreen, that is why I gave it a 4 star rating.
