Why so much hype?

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Well, it looks like there's a fair number of people who are defending this film and I am certainly not one of them. I don't like the argument that you should lower your standards just because it's something made for kids. While not a good movie, "The Adventures Of Elmo In Grouchland" did a far superior job of having more interesting characters, backgrounds and everything else. In fact, I might have just given this a 3 out of 10 if not for this one major factor: fart jokes. Yeah, I tried to avoid the first one but in one of the latter parts of the movie, they actually have the dogs fart because they need his methane gas.I don't even think that was a joke. It was meant to be something serious. There's this one character who suddenly becomes a villain out of absolutely nowhere. The visuals are simply terrible. Whenever the pups are on the Moon, you can easily tell they're just ugly CGI models. The worst thing about the movie is probably the lip movement. We get these creepy lines coming from their mouths. Look at the "Babe" movies and see how they did it much better. I guess it didn't help I hadn't seen most of the other movies. This was a sequel or I guess a spin off of Air Bud. Disney stopped making direct to video animated sequels at this point but they still had some awful live-action ones left.Why even put talking animals into the mix? The original "Air Bud" was mediocre at best and didn't need these constant followups. The characters in this are just not smart. There's a scene where a kid can literally just use this machine to put on a spacesuit. Why would anyone have a machine turned on during a tour that just immediately gives you one of those? Shouldn't they maintain their equipment better? It gets rather dumb when we see five dogs do it. Learn the first time. This movie features a cosmonaut who looks like one of the Geico caveman and boy, is he obnoxious. I think even people who liked the other ones didn't care for this. Even for this length, it went on too long. This is why I'm a "Gravity Falls" fan. *

Space BuddiesDogs are the worst animals to launch into space on account they chase every comet they see.Unfortunately, the shuttle carrying the canines in this family- comedy is incapacitated.Golden retriever pup Buddha (Field Cate) and his newborn buddies: Mudbud, Rosebud, Budderball and B-Dawg stowaway on an experimental rocket ship and are unknowingly launched into space.But when they run out of fuel, their ship must dock at a Russian space station, where a cosmonaut (Diedrich Bader) and his dog (Jason Earles) have been living in seclusion. While the Russian wants to stay his dog doesn't, so the buddies formulate an escape.The third entry in the Air Bud spin-off, this 2009 offering is on par with the previous installments, save for worse special effects and storytelling. However, the Buddies are still adorable.Moreover, if they make it back, the Buddies will be the first dogs to ever return from space.Red Lightvidiotreviews.blogspot.ca

Again, I am puzzled by those on this site who review children's movies as if they should be "Citizen Kane." I just got done watching Space Buddies with my 6 year old son, and we both fully enjoyed it. The plot, while inconceivable, was engrossing for my son, and cute for me. There were enough funny lines and situations to keep both of our interests throughout the film. We have never seen one of the Air Bud movies, but will check them out now.My son's favorite line, being a HUGE "Star Wars" fan, was when the spacecraft was approaching the moon, one of the dogs said, "Ah, it's the Death Star!" My favorite part of the film was Deidrich Bader, who I find funny in anything he's in. Get that guy a TV show, already! Plus, my son enjoyed that Bill Fabberbake was the voice of Patrick on SpongeBob.If you are a parent looking for a movie, rent this, and enjoy like I did. You shouldn't be disappointed.

Lots of flaws with this movie. But that's not saying kids will enjoy it, because kids don't care about the Technical stuff. Adults and Professional Movie reviewers are going to BOMB this movie(like myself), no doubt, but kids will enjoy this because they do not care about the Acting Performance's and other movie Essentials. If you take movies Seriously , you WILL HATE this movie. Uninspired story, forgettable characters, Terrible and Dull humor, Untrue History, Poor Acting and I could go on forever! Including all the money for this movie could have gone to, Cancer research, schools, fire departments etc...I would have given this movie a 1 but I inched it up to 3 because kids might get a kick out of it.Thumbs WAY DOWN for me.
