Air Bud: Spikes Back

We have another entry in the infinite Air Bud series and it's just as pointless as any other movie. We get Air Bud find out about volleyball and that's it. As with the previous movies, these guys try to kidnap Buddy and I'm not even quite sure why. I was about to say I was glad there were no farts in this. Instead there was vomit. Please stop this. This is lame even by the standards of direct to video sequels. Of course, the original film wasn't that good to begin with. Doug Walker must be happy he didn't have to watch these films for Disneycember 2016. As usual, the movie ends with Air Bud going to the championship although I don't know much about volleyball competitions. Again, just show us how he got that far. The acting is quite bad especially this one scene where a kid just seems to be screaming for awhile for no reason. I don't notice or care if these were the same kids from the other movies. It's so repetitive I could have predicted it like a Michael Bay Transformers film. At this point, they might have run out of sports. I'm sooo glad I got to watch "Star Vs. The Forces Of Evil" to balance out the stupidity of Direct To Video Month. *1/2

A piece of fluff to play as background audio visual while teenagers make out...they won't miss anything important during prolonged kissyfaces because the movie contains nothing important, just a cute dog, cute girls and a no-brainer plot. My brain enjoyed finding the factual errors, which are numerous, including how air head's team win a volleyball game while the opposite team is serving...screenwriter obviously has never played volleyball. The main character is a teenage girl but IMD for some reason list the principal "actors" as her parents, who appear only briefly at the beginning and at the end. The IMD reviewer might be related to the screenwriter, neither seem to have a clue what they are writing about...

I will start by saying I watched this after watching the first 3 movies back to back (seventh innings fetch was stolen from from video store, but that's a whole other story). If you have watched any other Air Bud movies then you already know the basic script. If you haven't stop reading right now and go watch the first one because your life is incomplete. Basic story line. Bad team gets great when Bud joins, he misses the final game then comes back before the end and they win, then he ends up playing with the worlds best. What is different about this one is the main character is now Josh's sister after Josh has gone to college. She is a massive drainer the whole movie and try's to steal the movie from Air Bud. I think Bud really wanted to punch her in the face and turn this into a boxing movie but that is probably less family friendly story line. Fist issue. At the start the bad guy's are trying to steal a gem which who even knows why that was even in Fernfield, no one ever went to see it. It just sat there in the school being guarded by an overweight security guard. Second issue. The little kid eats approximately 20 ice creams across the 80 minute movie. So once every 4 minutes this kid is stuffing his face with more ice cream, I'm not picking on his choice of diet however not once during the whole movie does he get an ice cream headache. Massive let down there! Third issue. I can't be exactly sure of the time but last time I checked I was 51 minutes into this movie and Bud hadn't even touched a volleyball. For a movie about a dog playing volleyball, I don't expect to wait over 3/4 of the movie to see a dog playing volleyball! Finally the volleyball scenes were pathetic at best. They constantly looped the same shot of Bud setting the ball, followed by the tall guy jumping, followed by random person A and B diving in the sand and missing the ball. They probably could have got a few more different shots. The scoring is also all wrong the writers could have at least googled the rules of volleyball beforehand. However in true Air Bud form you still get the same fuzzy feeling when you see him running in wearing the team colours for the first time and how excited he looks after winning a point. You can't help but still get excited watching him play sport.

Well this movie wasn't all that bad but there were some very noticeable things first of all how can a dog play volleyball or whatever yes you can train a dog but why would they let a dog play and how would the dog learn the rules?Tammy is the worst actress in the movie,Andrea isn't as bad but she is the best one in the movie.The main reason i hate it because it was too long and i wish they would get it off family i mean I'm watching a good movie and guess what i see "airbud coming up next your watching family" its really annoying.well i have to fill 10 lines but i only have 8 so anyways if you like this movie then don't be mad at me go ahead and say airbud rocks but i don't think the same way OK bye!

OK well this movie did not stink!i liked it, i saw it at my dad's house when i was going to bed and i was 15 years old and it did not stink. First of all the plot is the same,but the story is different!i mean it's about friendship!!Poor andrea has to say goodbye to her bestfriend and the only way she can see her is by winning this tournament!I'ts heartwarming because it teaches one about friendship and how far one would go to not lose such a special friendship!Of course Air Bud once again was a natural at the sport, but that's the same concept in all the movies!!!I love the Air Bud movies they are heartwarming, and really do make one get closer to family!!The first one came out when i was 8 and it was sooo good they had to make it all over again!!!!So what if it's fantasy, so is Barney and the Teletubies and those really, really, really stink!!!Also Josh is super hot!!!

Now, I'm not much when it comes to writing so you're not going to see the outcome or a lot about the movie within my comments about this movie but I just wanted to comment because I feel too many people that are writing about it, are giving the other people the wrong picture about this movie! Of course, this movie is about Air Bud, the "wonder dog" if you want to label him as such...that seems to be able to play any sport that is thrown at him (pardon the pun) and yes, it is geared toward kids but what were the majority of the people that watched this, expecting? I'm a parent and have six kids and we all enjoyed this movie a great deal and yes, we've seen the other ones as well and since then, have seen the newer ones as well and they all have pretty much the same plot but we are talking about a boy and his dog (in general) here. If you're expecting freaky stuff to happen, may I suggest Sixth Sense but these movies are geared for kids and if you checked the rating on them, you'd know that so why all the whining! Maybe some of the characters have been changed but my kids didn't seem to mind...and they did notice...but that wasn't why they enjoyed the movie or why they were watching it. The main reason for watching the movie was for Air Bud and he was in each of them and he never did disappoint! Listen, if you have kids, you've got a great movie that they'll be watching on more than one occasion...and that goes for all of them so I say...BRING ON MORE AIR BUD for the kids, of course...lol Don B...

Well i just saw this last night. I enjoyed it despite it pretty much being the same concept form the previous films. Buddy is missing at the start of the Championship, but arrives to save the day as always. The one thing that was different is buddy got himself out of the trouble this time with out the help of the kids. One thing i will nitpick is Noah Framm why was his last name framm that was Josh and Andrea fathers last name. So Noah should have had a different last name(since they share the same mother but have different Dad), unless his father Patrick took the Framm name. This is obviously 3 years after the 7th inning stretch taking into fact that in that movie Andrea was just going into middle school 6th grade. In this one , she was ending 8th grade. I guess that would make Josh going to be a senior in College It's a film that most kids will enjoy, some adults might not simple due to its basically the same thing only different sports, and slightly different situation. This is the first they have ever done something during the `Summer' versus the school year so that was different
