I thought this was the best Air Bud movie ever! The cast was great and so was the plot. If you've seen the other Air Bud movies, I gurentee you this one is the best! I truly recomend this movie to people of all ages!

Air Bud becomes a DVD reviewer and starts a life time job by reviewing all of the Air Bud movies and spin offs. Okay, a joke. The whole air bud thing is the sequels that wont go away. Great kids movie recycled over and over and they almost work. This time Air Bud happens to be a soccer player. The plot is almost the same. The kid is almost the same. But this time there is a cameo by the olympic woman's soccer team. These are good movies. You will have fun.

THIS IS A GREAT FAMILY MOVIE. IT IS A HEART WARMING FILM FOR EVERYONE. I STONGLY RECOMMEND "AIR BUD 3"

Is there a sport this dog can`t do?I don`t think there is!
This 2nd sequal to AIR BUD is very entertaining and funny,and I reccomend it for anyone who likes SOCKER DOG,AIR BUD,AIR BUD:GOLDEN RECIVER,or any movie that has sports or cool dogs in it!Josh and Buddy are back for another great adventure and in this one,Josh meets a beautiful Socker Coach,who he immediatly gets a crush on,and Buddy starts to like the girl Josh likes dog!Buddy and the girls dog have 6 puppies(not 4,like it shows on the cover),and they are absolutly adorable!!!Oh,I forgot to tell you,the beggining starts out at Josh`s mom and her boyfriends wedding!I`m so happy Josh has a new dad and his mom has a new husband!I won`t tell you anymore cause` I don`t want to spoil anything!Just one more thing....see this movie!!!!You`ll love it!

I saw the first movie of air bud and thought that it was pretty good the way a dog could play a sport and was really good at it, especially basketball. Then the second one came out with Buddy playing football, which i thought was also neat. But now we have Buddy playing soccer. Personally, i like a little romance in some movies and this had a little bit. Josh and buddy, falls in love with Emma and her golden retriever. The music wasn't so bad on the movie either, but i can't seem to find any soundtrack to air bud at all. I hope they come out with one though.

This is such a good movie!!!!!!
I love the newborn puppies-they're just soooo cute!!!!!!!!
Like the other kid said, interestingly enough my golden retriever watched the movie and seemed to like the puppies!

Air Bud 3 is Orwellian brilliance: in the style of the George Orwell classic Animal Farm, human actors are put into an animal form to create an allegory that within this film is nothing if not overtly transparent.
Air Bud 3, starring a talented dog actor, is a nuanced look at Euro-American relations, especially important in the politics of the Bush administration. The blonde-haired (and thus a caucasion surrogate) golden lab dominated basketball in the first two installments. This is highly symbolic: like white america has appropriated black art forms, we find a blonde-haired animal infiltrating and deflecting attention towards itself (think of Eminem and the adoption in suburban white America of black fashion). If those were not wildly subversive films, nothing is.
Here, Bud dominates soccer, Europe's game. The symbolism is obvious: the United States has taken possession of Europe and European policy. Orwell would be delighted! Playfully employing language nuances to instruct and astonish the viewer, this is an intensely imagined narrative and call to arms standing among Air Bud's best works.

My 7 and 10 year olds loved the movie. I couldn't finish watching it. It was a bit too much for me.... It will occupy pre-teens for an hour.

This movie was GREAT!!! The acting was GREAT!! It's a great movie for kids and grown-ups! When Josh enters the Soccer team the smart Golden Retriever Buddy enters as well. He turns out to be a GRAND player! Buddy also meets up with a lady Golden Retriever named Molly. Buddy and Molly fall is love and soon have 6 puppies. When two bad guys dognap the puppies Buddy, Molly, Josh, josh's girlfriend and Josh's sister must rescue the puppies and get to the game in time!
Watch this movie!

The original Air Bud dealt with a lot of serious issues. Josh had lost his dad, he moved to a new town and had no friends, he had to confront Buddy's original owner, and he had to chose losing Buddy to protect Buddy. World Pup is so devoid of serious moments that one wonders at some of the characters.

Both Buddy and Josh find love interests in this movie. Things start with Josh's mother remarrying. Josh joins the soccer team in order to be closer to, and possibly make points with, a girl he is attracted to.

Two shady characters are out to get Buddy and Buddy's love interest (and later, their puppies of which there are six and not four like pictured on the cover).

There are plenty of good dog moments and the lack of seriousness means parents will not be tempted to skip over any scenes. But there are two things that don't make sense.

Who are the bad guys, what are they really up to, and how can they make any money at it if it takes them many months just to get at Buddy and family?

As in Seventh Inning Stretch, Josh's parents go to the big game and find out Josh is missing (as is his girlfriend and Buddy). What do they do? They watch the game! Can you believe it! They show no concern for a missing child (at least in SIS they have a few lines about wondering where they could be). The way the mother was portrayed in the first movie, she should have been turning the town upside-down looking for Josh. Not a good portrayal of a loving family.

But, all in all, the movie is fun and appropriate for younger children (my four-year-old loved it).
