Watch Air Bud: World Pup For Free

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

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

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

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.

At least if you're a Disney fanatic (well, of the variety who loves their live-action films as well as the animated stuff), if you're a kid, if you're a kid at heart almost to the extent that you hardly realize you're an adult, if you love absolutely any film that features animals, especially when they're doing tricks, or if you're just not too demanding, Air Bud: World Pup is somewhat enjoyable to watch. I'm a Disney fanatic. I enjoyed this film enough, and I'll gladly watch it again.But boy does it have a lot of problems. The main flaw arises from a combination of too many characters, too many plot threads and not enough time to take care of them all. In the space of 82 minutes, we've got adults getting married, teens falling in love and trying not to be awkward at it, teen competition for love and jealousy, preteens playing spy games, dogs falling in love, dogs playing soccer, dogs having puppies, manipulative parents who'll do anything to make their kids win being taught a lesson by their kids, housekeeper dilemmas, and crooks cooking up and executing elaborate plots. I'm probably forgetting something, but that's 10 big plot issues to be dealt with, with less than 10 minutes per thread to deal with them, and presumably weave them into a coherent whole that's both not too complicated--this is a kids' film, after all--and that's also humorous and heartwarming. Not surprisingly, director Bill Bannerman, on his first turn being completely in charge (he has a lot of previous second unit experience), wasn't quite up to the task. I'm sure it didn't help that there were at least three screenwriters involved, and probably dictating producers, as well.The end result is that Air Bud: World Pup is extremely choppy. Events occur with little justification, and worse, often little explanation. People figure out and do things primarily because they need to--and fast--so that everything can arrive where it needs to arrive in less than 90 minutes. From one cut to the next, time might jump ahead six months or so. We have both adults who seem like maybe they're mentally disabled and kids who just intuitively figure out what a dog is thinking and rush into some unexpected action. Some of the threads should have simply been removed, because it's difficult to become too engaged in the film when as soon as you're introduced to an idea, it's already passed you by.Also not helping is the fact that one of the threads is basically a rip-off of One Hundred and One Dalmatians (1961), minus a Cruella De Vil character. And another problem is that given the way the film is edited, I have to assume that the dog, Air Bud, probably couldn't do much with the soccer ball. Unlike the first two films, a dog playing a sport is almost an afterthought here, and when we see him, it's in very quick glimpses; every once in a while, these snippets appear to be even aided by computer animation.Yet, for someone like me, there's a cheesy charm to Air Bud: World Pup. The script and performances often teeter between ridiculous, hokey and kinda clichéd. I tend to like that combination. It makes the film both a bit predictable and subtly bizarre. And at times, like the ending, when the film completely abandons consistency and basically becomes a commercial for the U.S. Women's Soccer Team, Air Bud: World Pup is so blatantly tacky that you can't help but love it.

This movie is good, but disappointingly is nowhere near as good as the first airbud. The storyline is predictable and cheesey and you don't even see much of Josh Framm's legs! The hot teenage Kevin Zegers is the best thing in this movie.Michael (aged 17)
