From Amazon.com
Disney's favorite four-legged athlete tries his paw at beach volleyball in Air Bud Spikes Back, a palatable tale that focuses more on its human characters than on its canine wonder boy. School's out and Andrea Framm's best friend moves to California. Many sad goodbyes ensue, followed by Andrea's dogged attempts to earn enough money for an airplane ticket. But babysitting doesn't pay much, and dogsitting becomes a liability when her charges wreak havoc at the Fernfield summer festival. Enter the boy next door, whose love for volleyball could be Andrea's ticket to San Diego. Of course, it takes a dog--and Buddy proves himself behind the net. Obligatory bad guys (numbskull thieves who coerce Buddy into nabbing a prized diamond) and equally inane good guys (assorted ditzy grown-ups) stay true to Air Bud formulae. Only the token finale with volleyball champ/model Gabrielle Reece will puzzle viewers in this otherwise predictable kid-pleaser. (Ages 3 and older) --Liane Thomas

Customer Reviews

I LOVED IT!
THIS IS ONE OF THE GREATEST MOVIES! IT'S FUNNY. WHOEVER SAID IT WAS LAME IS GAY!!!!

Air Bud: spikes back (v. good!!)
Right, i was scrolling through my sky, when i saw this movie, and when i first saw it, i thought it was going to be a kiddy movie. But, i was bored so i watched it and by the end...I LOVED IT!!! I think it has a good story line and that it is funny, exciting, and even touching at times. I would recommend this if you have a family, basically because kids WILL watch it over and over again. And you will get your moneys worth.

Same formula, with a twist
Yes it is the same formula as in the other 4 air bud movies.
But lets face it when you have a 3 year old who only wants to watch a movie with a "doggie" that looks just like hers, it's nice to have 5 different movies to choose from. I "watch" air bud 7 days a week 1 or 2 movies per day with my daughter, variety helps. It is definitely not for adults or kids over 9, who will think it too lame, but little ones will love it.
