Air Bud 4 - Mit Baseball bellt sich's besser

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!!!

Air Bud was a good movie, if you don't mind bad acting, Air Bud two has gone far enough! The dog died after the first movie was made, and he was not even a golden retriever! The second one had worst acting in it too. Air Bud three was totally stupid, and a waste of time, and money.

I cannot believe they came out with an Air Bud 4! how in the heck can a dog hit a baseball with a bat!? How does the dog even know the rules of baseball, and the first owner in the first movie the "Clown" only taught him basketball! not all these other sports, and they had to just get Josh out of the picture somehow!

So that means the dog is at least 13 years old in this movie, if the first movie the younger sister was a baby, and now going into jr. high! Give me a break! Not even a toddler would like this!

The people of air bud has gone far enough, and now they are probably going to go out with more, to do ALL the sports.

All in all, don't waste you money, nor your time watching this movie!

My one line summary is actually a quote from a 'Family Affair' web site, but it does reflect what made the biggest impression on me. Though Caitlin didn't show the talent she demonstrated, along with Tim Curry, in her TV series, she made Angela adorable and someone to care about. This, to me, was really a movie about a girl's adjustment to junior high, not a movie about a baseball-playing dog. The plot about the dog and his offspring--who a professor wanted to kidnap in order to create a 'superdog'--seemed secondary. Though the kidnap plot did add some excitement.

It was a funny and touching movie and good clean family fun. Well, not quite clean. Baseball players do get their uniforms dirty. Then there was that incident in Home Ec class. And let's not forget the hogs!

I would have never guessed. This movie might not be as bad as #3, but it's certainly getting there. Though the acting might be a little better in this movie...really, who wants to see another Air Bud? The magical thought that all of Air Bud's puppies can also play sports is just laughable. Although baseball is a great sport, it's a little strange (and totally fake) that a dog can really hold a metal baseball bat and not break all its teeth hitting the ball. Well, that's pretty much all I have to say...hmmm...I'll give it a 4 out of 10.

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.
