For the most part, this is the same formula as the others and is fine for your children to watch on their own. But at one point the character of Andrea, dismayed by her non-athleticism remarks (...). Many say I'm old fashioned for considering this a swear word, but I have no desire to hear my 3 or 5 year old repeat that phrase.

It can be hard to generate sequels to a movie that was based on a true story. The original movie starred Air Bud, a real golden retriever with 20,000 career baskets. Unfortunately the read Buddy lost a leg shortly after the film was made.

In this sequel, the storyline returns to some real issues and not just silliness. Josh's oldest sister (his only full sibling) must deal with Josh going away to college. Josh promises to return, but it is hard for her, especially when his old room begins being remade for the new baby. Andrea's old life from her parents seems to be being swept away by the new life with step-father and half sibling.

But Andrea has other problems. She has just entered junior high with her best friend and they try to fit in by joining an activity. Unfortunately they are hopeless at most everything until they try baseball. Andrea's friend Tammy has real talent but Andrea just doesn't know what to do. Tammy only agrees to be on the team if Andrea is on it as well. This means that Andrea does a lot of bench warming.

But when Tammy is injured Andrea if forced into play and helps the team lose game after game. She then finds out that the coach didn't want her on the team originally.

Buddy to the rescue! Buddy helps Andrea by getting her to practice. Andrea funnels her anger into intensive practice and refuses to give up. Eventually she begins to catch and hit. More and more practice and she becomes a decent player.

Of course this wouldn't be an Air Bud movie if Buddy didn't suit up and play. Seeing Buddy holding a bat is one of the most unbelievable things in the movie. Sorry, just couldn't handle that one (although I can believe his catching ability).

The other major downer in the movie is the way Andrea's parents behave. I can accept them being less attentive due to the new baby buy they seem so unconcerned when Andrea goes missing (although not as bas as when Josh goes missing in the previous movie).

Tension is added to the film by a Horace and Jasper type team who are out to abduct Buddy and his kids (there are only four instead of six like in the previous movie) in an attempt to discover the sports gene and its secrets. Their bumbling efforts are offset by an even more bumbling sheriff in the silliest cowboy hat seen in a long time.

I have to say that I rank the original Air Bud as the best of the films, followed by Seventh Inning Stretch and then World Pup. I don't think the rest are worth ranking.

This movie is okay but I'm not too interested in it. The first and second Air bud movies were the best to me. This movie couldn't make me laugh so I sticked to the first two Air bud movies.

I Loved This Movie!It`s My Favorite Air Bud Movie And I Wish It Was A Theatrical Realease!Cause It Sure Is Good Enogh To Be One!

If You Like This Movie I Reccomend:
Air Bud
Air Bud:Golden Reciever
Air Bud Spikes Back
Air Bud:World Pup

This is a very cute family movie, especially if you have Goldens and kids or grandkids!

Can you imagine seeing a dog hitting a ball with a baseball bat? I can understand soccer, basketball, and maybe football, but baseball? I think all of the Airbuds are funny, but this is definitely the funniest. Espeacially Rocky the Racoon. If you've seen the other Airbuds, you'll be surprised when you watch this one, because it's not Josh playing baseball, it's his younger sister Andrea! It's not the best of the Airbud series, but you'll fall in love with the funny cast of characters!

This movie fits well with the others. The sports involved are fantastic especially with a dog. WOW! What if an animal can help our own teams. What a thought.

Couldn't find the Air Bud movies anywhere, except at very expensive price tags. Have all these movies on VHS from when my sons were growing up. Now I want my grandchildren to experience them. The movies are great, and I couldn't beat the price!

Air Bud is back---this time he has a baseball bat in his teeth! Another sequal to the Air Bud series. Let me get my point across. Obviousely this movie shows a lot of unrealism. "A dog holding a baseball bat in his teeth and hitting the ball!? Then, him catching a baseball with his teeth!? Come on, give me a break!!!" Sure this is all a little far fetched--but sometimes thats just how some movies are. All the Air Buds are far fetched-but that doesn't necessarily make them bad movies! I love watching Air Bud. I've seen most of them. This (just like the others) is a good family film to watch. Besides-it's a Golden retriever playing sports-ya gotta love it!!!

Very good for a sequel. A dog catching baseballs is entirely believable because the mother of my brother's German Shorthair would catch thrown rocks. And preferred them to tennis balls. Watching those superbly trained Goldens is always enjoyable.
