For young dog lovers only.
Gerry Shamray, Sun Newspapers of Cleveland
It's still the usual routine of dopey bad guys and our furry friend coming out on top.

It's nice to see, after a long run, that this franchise still has a bit of steam left, however, at best, it's just another air bud movie. It didn't have to be made, but for a fan like me, it put a smile on my face!

this was the best air bud film yet.

Thank god, it's over.

This movie is exactly what you'd think it'd be, a dog playing volleyball. It has no surprises, and isn't all that good but it's not horrible either. it was kind of weird that buddy had a different owner in this movie and it just wasn't as sweet as air bud.
Jackson W

The most uncreative movie of the series.
