Air Bud: Seventh Inning Fetch

Air Bud: Seventh Inning Fetch_720p(480P)

With Josh off to college, Bud, the sporty dog, will be in Andrea's care and rock like the star of a baseball team. But such success can arouse the envy of many, and, in the middle of the championship, their puppies are kidnapped. Josh is off to his first year of college and Buddy has stayed behind with Josh's little sister Andrea and the rest of the family. Andrea, attempting to fit in with her Jr. High classmates, she decides to join the baseball team and along the way discovers that Buddy is a talented baseball player. Now focused on Andrea, not very good at sports, arts and the like, and missing her brother who leaves for college, but didn't save much, I'm glad the franchise is ending, hehehe, looking forward to the end, cute, but more the same in all of them, predictable cuteness, with cute little dramas, just...

Here we have yet another entry in the neverending "Air Bud" series and it's just boring and serves no purpose. This time Air Bud (or I guess Buddy) takes on baseball. The weirdest thing is that the plot of him playing it doesn't even appear until halfway through the movie. In a film that's relatively short, that can be a problem. There are these two henchman who want to capture Buddy and his offspring because they've found some sports gene in his body that makes people good at sports. This is a stupid plot point and it goes nowhere. They acknowledge that they're just henchmen. There must be some higher up and we never find out who that is. None of this has any reason to exist and it's the exact same as all the other movies. The film even ends with Buddy going to the World Series. Again, how did he get that far in his career? It's the same ending as the last one. Although this one had no farting in it, I'm still going to say it's worse then the third because it has no reason to exist and advances nothing. *1/2

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.

To all of you Air Buddies haters, this is where the series got weird not Space Buddies. It still has the heartwarming feel of Air Bud and Golden Receiver but it's also really weird. I mean, Josh going to college is fine but Air Bud playing Baseball? I get Basketball, Football, Soccer, and Volleyball but you have to hold a bat to play baseball. However, that's not the weird part. The weird part is that Air Bud's grown pups have been kidnapped by a raccoon and some gangsters. I mean, what the heck?! As for my enjoyment, I liked it better than World Pup but it's not as good as Air Bud or Golden Receiver. I'd say it's on par with Air Buddies. (which I did like)

Air Bud 4 is the latest in the series about the sports-playing dog, Buddy. This time around, though, it's a little bit different. Instead of teaming up with his regular pal, Josh Framm (played by Kevin Zegers), Buddy teams up with Josh's younger sister, Andrea (played by Caitlin Wachs). Of all the Air Bud movies, I enjoyed this movie's plot the most. It focuses on Andrea and her many "problems": starting junior high school, her brother going away to college, her parents ignoring her in favor of the new baby, and her (at first) pathetic attempts at playing baseball. Unfortunately, Buddy is not as involved in the sports scenes as he was in the first three movies. He really doesn't even play until the near-end of the movie. This makes the pace of the movie a little slow at times. (It's also hard to accept that a dog can be a great baseball hitter.) Of course, being Disney, the movie is predictable and gives off warm fuzzies (which is not a bad thing). The subplot of the scientists is never really explored, which is a good thing; it would have ruined the movie. This is not a movie to rush out and rent/buy (unless you have a wife who loves Golden Retrievers, like mine), but it's a good film to watch when you have some time to spare. I recommend it for anyone who likes this series.

I'm 14 and think that Air Bud 4 is the best movie that has come out recently. I think Buddy and the Puppies are the cutest things! Not to mention that Kevin starring as Josh does a lot to bring up my vote! Not a lot of people think that a 14 year old would even consider sitting down to watch this movie, but me and my friends actually had an Air Bud party and watched all the movies back to back (commenting on how cute Kevin was the whole while). I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and HIGHLY recommend it, especially any teen age girls who want to see cute dogs and guys!

I think it would have been better if they made 3 more movies before this one, that way the 7th Air Bud movie would have had the word seven in it. I give it 4 stars because it's only the 4th movie not the seven and that feels false advertising.

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!!!
