Every generation has its family movies, right? I'm sure this movie will appeal to a young audience, just as I enjoyed such sweet movies at a young age that came on TV and like the many American westerns could captivate youngsters a generation before me. But I don't like these kinds of movies. Air Bud isn't really special and just ripples a little further. For children it might still be nice if a dog appears on the screen, but I want more story than that. Not my thing shall we say.

Really sweet.

Typical animal film for children. The Air-Buddy movies are not as successful as this movie. I can appreciate children's movies or normal movies with dogs in the lead anyway, so that must be it. I think it's hilarious, especially when those silly animals are still playing sports.

Acting is, as expected, not exactly top-notch and there is little humor in the main characters. However, the dog steals the show, the basketball scenes are extremely pleasant to watch.

Still quite moving scenes to my great surprise. A crazy and bizarre film that is mainly aimed at children. Nice idea, could have been better developed at times. For the rest, secretly still quite entertained.

Tried this family movie once and it wasn't wrong. Our kids thought it was very nice and funny.

The story isn't really surprising or innovative, of course, but it wasn't boring either. Nice to have seen.
