When my sister first made me see this film, I groaned. I thought that it would turn out like the Beethoven films. I was wrong. This film is cute, put a smile on my face, and, well, I like animals.

I also rate movies. The movie was very good. The child who finds "Buddy" is very nice but the dad of the child died. Anyway he is also a good role model. They say what the h*** in a few scenes to

This is a great dog/sports movie. The only mildly violent scene is where a boy is repeatedly pelted with basketballs, thrown hard by the coach. There is a little bit of mild language, but otherwise this is a great movie suitable for kids.

Air Bud, and it's sequels, is by far the worst movies I have ever seen! They are almost as bad as being glued to a wall with industrial strength gorrila glue and forced to listen to Justin Bieber for 24 hours straight.(Okay, maybe not that bad, but you get my point.) Animals and sports have never gone well together, and probably never will. If you want to see a dog play basketball, I suggest you rather watch a rerun of America's Funniest Home Videos. However, these movies is great for a method of torture for those in the maximum security prisons.

This movie might seem really stupid, but it's not. It is really interesting and funny. Also, it is mainly bright and cheery! However, one very sad scene made me cry, (I won't give away any spoilers, but poor dog!) and it is really hard to make me do that (I stayed dry-eyed at Marley and me...). So if you are a dog-lover you might want to arm yourself with tissue when you watch this. (parents may also cry at the sentimental ending). Overall, wonderful movie! 7+
