Air Bud: World Pup

After showing off his basketball and football skills, Bud the dog is recruited to join his city's local football team. Meanwhile, he meets Molly, a golden retriever from England, with whom he ends up having five puppies, targets for new "dangerous" bandits. First film in the "Bud" series released directly to video. The movie is no longer such wonders for children, as Bud 2 was not, and they still put an initiative rating to 10+, aff, if the little ones can't watch it, who will? Now Bud has a little crush, and Josh too, without any charm, it was no wonder that it was released directly to the video, and there are still some franchise films ahead of him... Never give up, discouraged, yes...

I feel like the only reason this movie exists is to have Air Bud learn soccer and to introduce Air Bud's pups. (not the buddies) This movie really didn't need to exist. It's not terrible, it's just kind of okay. Air Bud is still endearing and the soccer games are fun to watch but Josh (the boy from the last movies) and his relationship issues are boring to watch. They're pointless and could be written out entirely. Heck, they don't even show his girlfriend in Air Bud: Seventh Inning Fetch, so what was the point of that? Did they really need that pointless filler in an 83 minute movie? Okay maybe they did but it could've been filled with anything else.

I love the previous Air Bud: Golden Receiver and I loved this one as well. Again, I am surprised at all the negative comments that were written about this movie. Folks, it is a "Family Friendly" movie, does that make no sense to you? It's not your sex, action, gory movie your so used to watching. It is a down to earth honest to good film, where good morals are being taught in my view. It may have it's cheesy moments but that doesn't change the fact that It is a good story, and I will be honest we need more good films like this made, but obviously Hollywood doesn't know how to cut it. Josh Framm returns and his amazing Buddy, this time around Soccer is the main sport, Girls and Teenage hormones are the main focus, and our friendly Buddy becomes a daddy as he brings several "Buddies" into the picture. What I really liked is how they brought the lawyer from Jurassic Park into the picture, and again, he plays a greedy bad guy. The pup "Buddies" are cute and likable and the story in all is good. It is a fun tale of sports, romance, and being yourself, plus a bunch of amazing Golden Retriever puppies. 10/10 for Air Bud 3: World Pup

This was the first "Air Bud" movie to be released direct to video I believe, not that the series was ever that great to begin with. Here we have Buddy learning to play soccer and that's mostly it. I was thinking that at least this movie didn't have the dog farts of "Space Buddies". Instead, it just has a man farting. This is seriously one of the most out of place scenes in a movie I've witnessed in a long time. There's this part where a rich guy is just farting for no reason. We need to stop with the farts in these movies. The main kid character dates this one girl and we get the same lessons about being yourself and everything. There's a dog catcher or someone who tries to kidnap the puppies but is so bland I don't care. The team with Buddy manages to rise to the ranks way too quickly and it would have been interesting to see more of that. This is just a boring direct to video Disney movie and it's probably even worse than the notorious animated Disney direct to video sequels. At least they had something good to begin with. *1/2

A great feel-good movie for the family, but make sure you have cotton wool ready for your ears because the kids will start squealing at the adorable puppies. This film pretty much has the same concepts and basic plot line as the first two. Buddy and his owner Josh start playing soccer, and Buddy falls for a new golden retriever in town (and Josh for her owner). Buddy becomes a father and a couple of horrible men try to steal the puppies to sell them. Not exactly brilliant cinema, but it is almost guaranteed to put a smile on dog lovers' faces, and kids and younger teens will love it (the latter not least because the boy who plays Josh is really cute).

I really enjoyed this movie. I have seen most of the other air buds and am wondering what sports they will come up with next. Tennis, Gymnastics? well i am a soccer player and really did like it, especially as a kid. In the movie it also makes a point that no matter what you are you can do anything. Out of all of the Air Buds, this is by far my favorite. I suggest it for family's. Also another good Air Bud movie I liked was Air Buddies. Some people may not like that one because the dogs talk but that was my other favorite. It is more for kids than adults but some may still enjoy it. i don't know what to write so i am just typing stuff sorry. I hope you enjoy this movie and find this helpful.

This is Air Bud's third sports movie. this time Josh is playing soccer, and to help him improve, yep, Air Bud will help him every step of the way. though he finds himself stuck in sports and his love, a female golden retriever. with his newborn pups, Shooter,Zak,Duke,and Striker. the sports generation has never looked so good!
