Common Sense Media says
Painfully slow, pointless Air Bud movie.

What parents need to know
Parents need to know that there's no objectionable content in this movie, but it's dull and utterly pointless. The dogs are beautiful, but they don't make up for the lack of plot and acting. A complete waste of time.
What's the story?
This fourth outing in the Air Bud series takes place in Fernfield, where Buddy the golden retriever and his four grown puppies live alongside their human companions. Of course, there is evil afoot: a scientist wants to kidnap all the dogs to distill the Super Sports Gene that gives them their incredible ball-hitting ability. That plot gets set aside so that we can watch Buddy take Andrea's school bag to her on the first day of classes, and then watch Andrea become MVP material in one afternoon of practice with her helpful dog for a coach.
Is it any good?
The dogs are all terrific, but there's absolutely nothing in AIR BUD: SEVENTH INNING FETCH to hold the viewer's attention. The writing is weak, the plot is transparent, the characters are clichés, and the situations are ridiculous. Even in this series, a dog hitting a baseball with a bat is far-fetched. If you're a dog lover, you'll have more fun taking a walk in the park and watching the real thing at play.

Not really worth watching, the other Buddy movies are better.
