If a pig can herd sheep, then the field is wide open for animals with unusual talents, and not just on Letterman's Late Show, either. Buddy, the golden retriever who made an unexpected hit in the initial Air Bud (1997), shows just how far you can stretch one joke over the course of two movies. Which isn't as far as the makers hoped, unfortunately. While the first film--about a performing dog who runs away from an abusive clown, befriends a lonely boy, and becomes a basketball star--had its charms, this one pushes the gag to the limit. This time, Buddy the dog learns to play football, even as he foils a plan by an international group of thieves to steal animals and start their own zoo. This is one that will hold the kids' attention while the adults do something else, at ease in the knowledge that their children are watching an innocuously entertaining movie. --Marshall Fine

Product Description

The creators of the original AIR BUD score once again with this all-new, hilarious heartwarming hit! This time out, Buddy, the hoop-shooting, hotshot canine, tackles a new sport -- football. When his teenage owner reluctantly becomes the school's new quarterback, Buddy catches the spirit and joins the team. Soon, the two find themselves leading the Timberwolves to the state championship. But victory hopes are sidelined when two sinister Russian circus owners take a bite out of everyone's plans and dognap Buddy for their star attraction. So give three cheers for Disney's AIR BUD: GOLDEN RECEIVER. Full of outrageous fun and adventure, it goes the whole nine yards for family fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars AIR BUD - Greatest of All March 25, 2004
Format:DVD
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars New Guy For Mom and a New Sport July 25, 2005
Format:DVD
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars As good as the first! January 15, 2005
Format:DVD
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!)
