Air Bud: Seventh Inning Fetch (2002)

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Powerful

Crappy film

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

This is the first of the Air Bud movies that I've seen. I read the parental summaries of the other ones and it didn't sound like they were completely appropriate, but this one didn't, and so I gave it a shot.I watched it with my 5 and 7 year old sons, and they both loved it. They found it very entertaining and cute the whole way through. I had to explain what was going on with the bad guys because that was a little over their heads, but they got it well enough. I appreciate that this is one of the very few movies that I've ever seen that actually earns its "G" rating.Yeah, it's not the BEST movie for adults, but it's really not awful either. I had to hold in my laughter at some parts that were just too cheesy, but hey, the kids enjoyed it. The dogs were pretty and I enjoyed watching to see how they made it look like they did such amazing acts. There are a couple good lessons in there that you can talk to your kids about, as long as you're watching with them.I highly recommend this for families, as we will definitely be watching it again at some point.

Baaaattterr uppppp!!! Or should I say, baaaaatttterrrr PUPPPP!!!!!! I can honestly now see why God created this earth!! To see the movie Air Bud 4 come to fruition! This movie made Air Bud look like CHUD...and I looooved CHUD! The addition of Rocky the Raccoon really tied things together for me; cause honestly I was completely lost after Air Bud: World Pup. The only thing that could top Air Bud as a soccer player? Of course! A baseball player! This movie absolutely needed to be made! Richard Karn's reprisal of "Patrick" made me jump out of my seat and "beg" for more! My God, please movie industry, keep turning out cinematic gems such as this because I am eating this crap up like a fecal-pheliac!

Why the heck do people care so much if Buddy was only taught basketball? I mean seriously it doesn't matter! Maybe that's why you people think that the fourth movie was bad. I just watched it again and I still love it. Besides if you pay attention, the scientist guy says he wants to steal the super sports gene of Buddy's and his puppy's' and maybe that's how he learned the other sports. Use your imagination, jeez. After I saw the second and third and fourth movies for the first time, I had completely forgotten that the dude only taught Buddy basketball. Just enjoy the movie, don't pay attention to stuff like that because if you do it ruins the movie and you don't like it. If you just watch the movie but don't think about the others, it's enjoyable. In fact, my family enjoyed the first movie so much that we had gotten our first golden retriever, and a golden retriever puppy. Now, that retriever puppy is 4 years old and we have another puppy who just so happens to be a lab. All of this happened because of the Air Bud movies so that just goes to show how good this movie really is. Another reason as to why people didn't like the movie is probably because that's not their favorite genre of movies. People should stick to their favorite genre and comment on those movies not movies that they hate!!!

My one line summary is actually a quote from a 'Family Affair' web site, but it does reflect what made the biggest impression on me. Though Caitlin didn't show the talent she demonstrated, along with Tim Curry, in her TV series, she made Angela adorable and someone to care about. This, to me, was really a movie about a girl's adjustment to junior high, not a movie about a baseball-playing dog. The plot about the dog and his offspring--who a professor wanted to kidnap in order to create a 'superdog'--seemed secondary. Though the kidnap plot did add some excitement. It was a funny and touching movie and good clean family fun. Well, not quite clean. Baseball players do get their uniforms dirty. Then there was that incident in Home Ec class. And let's not forget the hogs!
