Not many sequels are a good as the first, but this is an exception. When Bud appears in his uniform you react much like if the band just started with a John Philip Sousa march. Bud makes you swell with good feelings. Like the first movie, the dog shots are real and not just special effects. You do not need to like football to be cheering. I find the only time ball games are a good spectator sport is when Air Bud is starring. But then I have a couple of golden retrievers and 10 other dogs. You don't need kids to love it.

In this second movie based on real-life character Air Bud, Josh (Kevin Zegers) has a hard time dealing with his mother's attempts to date. His mom and the new vet hit it off and he gives Josh a football. Josh seems insulted but Buddy wants to play.
Things change when Josh discovers Buddy can catch footballs. Then he decides to go out for football as revenge against his mom's new guy. But it would not be an Air Bud movie is someone wasn't trying to get a hold of Buddy. This time it is a comic pair of Russians (looking like Boris and Natasha) who are stealing animals to put together a circus.
In the end this one works better than the other sequels. Unlike World Pup or Seventh Inning Fetch, we don't have the parents attending a game while being unconcerned about their missing children. This time the game goes on and only Buddy is missing. Also unlike the other movies, the rescue is not made by one of the kids.
All in all this is a fun movie, which like the first, actually deals with some touching issues as Josh has to come to terms with his mother's decisions. Plenty of dog action and slapstick round out the film and making it enjoyable for the whole family.

A wonderful first sequal!
Josh and Buddy are back in the high quality sequal and are still Basketball players for Josh`s school Basketball team!
Everything is going very smooth for Josh and Buddy the dog until his mom,who is played by someone else this time,starts dating a guy named Patrick and Josh just does not feel right possibly having a new dad.Patrick gives Josh a football and that gives Josh an idea how to get away from seeing Patrick and his mom together in the afternoons.He gets this idea from a good friend from school who tells him that football practice is in the afternoons,the same time Patrick comes to visit!Now,don`t get me wrong,Josh does not hate Patrick at all,but he just does not feel right for some reason!Josh signs up for football and really likes the coach,who is a nice,chubby man who loves all the kids who play on the team!
I swear I won`t tell you any more because I don`t want to spoil anything but remember.........see this film!(But try to see the first one before you do,though,cause it is really great,too,and it is where it all began!)

This is the most excellent Air Bud movie I have seen. I feel this movie should be rated PG. two scenes of violence during the football game but it's fun.

this is the best movie! air bud takes off on a misson too be the first dog too play football. this golden receiver will make you go wacky all day and all night. i think you won't get any sleep.

If you're looking for something the whole family can enjoy, Air Bud: Golden Receiver is IT! We enjoyed this one just as much as the first Air Bud and this video is at the top of my 3-year old's Christmas wish list. :o)

Buddy has become a well known dog, while his Master (Kevin Zegers) has become a teenager. Now the Teen has discover Buddy could also play Football! Now two Russians (Nora Dunn & Perry Anzilott), who steal animals and Discover Buddy Talent and wants to steal the animal to bring back with them in Russia.

Directed by Richard Martin (Canadian T.V. Director) has an entertaining Sequel, Kids will enjoy this One. DVD`s has an sharp Pan & Scan (1.33:1) Aspect Ratio and an Clear Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. DVD`s only extra is The Original Theatrical Tralier. Good family fun. Grade:B+.

This film will be enjoyed by anyone who has ever loved dogs. It is about a great golden retriever who can play football and his owner Josh (Kevin Zegers). I liked this movie not only because I like dogs but also because it had a great story line. I recommend this movie for adults and children of all ages!

Its an excellent kids movie, I bought a copy for my niece & nephew, it always helps to have these animal centered storylines but child actor (no longer a kid) Kevin Zegers also shows why he has become such an up and coming star. This edition of the Bud series is also probably the best of the lot with The World Cup movie a close second.

Buddy is a golden retriever who likes basketball. Now, he's back in football. In the end of the movie, there's a song I love it's called "One Moment." I love that song so much. I hope you get this movie and like it, too! It's a really good song!
