Family films are usually heart-warming, and Space Buddies is no exception. It fulfils this to the extreme! The ending has countless hugs and aww moments in rapid succession. Right when you think it couldn't get happier it does, within minutes. Perfect for every animal lover. Warning: may contain rodents.

The fact that this movie was the reason I got into space, I can clearly trace back almost all my intrest in space to this movie, this also means that this movie indirectly inspired me to start pursuing a degree in aerospace engineering. As well its the furthest back I remember seeing talking animals of any kind on screen, yes I am that young, but sue me no other price of cinema has had such a major impact on my life, as I have found friends through the furry Fandom as well as a career path to take. Out of spite I won't give this 10 starts, but this film shouldn't be 4.2 stars.

I watched this film as a joke with my girlfriend, as both of us were looking for something really awful to laugh at. Sadly, the movie wasn't that funny and really wasn't that poorly made either. Now, that certainly isn't a bad thing, and I would've been very happy had the film been good. Unfortunately, the film's biggest problem comes from the fact that it's way too boring and serious for its own good. Now, sure, the film is about a gang of token puppers that get lost in space, and there are the occasional fart jokes (the "fat" dog gets most of the abuse here), as well as a few puns (they say the phrase "one small step for dog, one giant leap for dogkind" at least five times), but other than that, the humor is almost non-existent. The script almost feels like it was written for adults staring adults, but someone decided to change it to a G- rated talking dog movie at the last minute, forgetting to remove all the long and boring science talk scenes. Trust me, there are a lot of long science talks sequences. Every time we cut back to the humans on earth, there's always a large spiel of exposition explaining the scientifics behind what's going on in space. Kids don't care about scientific details or the true-to-life accuracy of the facts, they want to see silly puppies doing silly things. And even when they cut back to the dogs, it's mostly serious dialog discussing their situation. Sound exciting to your kid? Probably not. The film is also unnecessarily cruel to a Russian who gets abandoned in space and tries to get revenge on the puppies after they nearly blow him up in a fiery explosion. Seriously. That's about it. Also, the rapping wigger dog is probably the most annoying character in the history of cinema, and I do not approve.

You gotta rate these things from the perspective of what you expect. This is Direct-To-Video so it competes with stuff like "The Wild" or "The Reef." Kids direct-to-video is a wasteland of unwanted, unwatchable horrors. So imagine my surprise at these "buddies" movies. I mean, they aren't bad. The plots are coherent, they have some legit jokes kids and adults will find funny, and the cinematography and effects aren't awful. Look, it's all fluff. It ain't Rob Roy or Mystic River. The kid actors are pretty bad. But the direction and casting are pretty good. A lot of these kiddie features become a mess plot-wise but the buddies movies stay on course. Adults won't cringe watching this stuff, it's totally palatable in a stupid sort of way. Great for kids up 10, after that I suspect they'll lose interest.

Space Buddies Dogs are the worst animals to launch into space on account they chase every comet they see. Unfortunately, the shuttle carrying the canines in this family- comedy is incapacitated. Golden retriever pup Buddha (Field Cate) and his newborn buddies: Mudbud, Rosebud, Budderball and B-Dawg stowaway on an experimental rocket ship and are unknowingly launched into space. But when they run out of fuel, their ship must dock at a Russian space station, where a cosmonaut (Diedrich Bader) and his dog (Jason Earles) have been living in seclusion. While the Russian wants to stay his dog doesn't, so the buddies formulate an escape. The third entry in the Air Bud spin-off, this 2009 offering is on par with the previous installments, save for worse special effects and storytelling. However, the Buddies are still adorable. Moreover, if they make it back, the Buddies will be the first dogs to ever return from space. Red Light vidiotreviews.blogspot.ca
