1. Air Bud - Rotten Tomatoes
It's a great movie for an entire family. Don't listen to the bad reviews this movie has gotten. Those people have terrible tastes in movies. Content collapsed.
Diffident in the wake of his father's death, high schooler Josh (Kevin Zegers) struggles to adapt to his new home in Washington state. That all changes, however, when he signs up to be the school basketball team's manager and discovers that his pet dog Bud, a stray golden retriever he took in, can play the sport amazingly well. After Bud joins the team, Josh's life brightens considerably, until the dog's former owner Norm Snively (Michael Jeter) returns in hopes of reclaiming the pooch.

7. Air Bud: Special Edition DVD Review
Air Bud is earnest, understated, and mildly touching in its first half. The boy-and-animal genre (usually boy and dog) is so abundant that you can't credit the ...
Since his father died a year ago, twelve-year-old Josh Framm (Kevin Zegers) has been quiet and withdrawn. Moving with his mom and young sister to Fernfield, Washington adds outsider status to Josh's persistent loneliness. The boy even makes his flair for basketball private, settling for a manager position on his new school's competitive, disciplined team. When he's not washing towels and uniforms, Josh makes the acquaintance of an apparently stray Golden Retriever. As boy and dog often do in films, the two become pals. Although she's leery of the messes (with instant good reason) and insists "Found" flyers are posted, Josh's mom (Wendy Makkena) sees the positive change that the friendship brings to her son and by Christmas morning, "Buddy" is gift-wrapped and welcomed into the family. The dog's highly unusual penchant for shooting hoops leads him to be embraced by Fernfield's community and the Timberwolves team, especially. While Josh joins the squad as a player, Buddy becomes mascot, halftime act, and inspiration with the nickname "Air Bud." When the big game arrives, chicken pox and a foul out leave coach Arthur Chaney (Bill Cobbs) with no choice but to let Air Bud suit up as the fifth Timberwolf on the court. Not many could have foreseen Air Bud spawning a major franchise and a genre onto itself. Released to theaters at the beginning of August 1997, this PG-rated family drama earned back its reported $4.7 million budget in just one weekend and went onto gros...

10. Air Bud (1997) - Movie Review : Alternate Ending
19 nov 2014 · Air Bud is a toxic combination of blandly cheery aesthetic and stupid, sub-functional writing, and it ends up being a massively irritating pile of junk.
Clumsy and full of dumb, broad jokes, this has little to offer other than the sheer gaudiness of its concept. Read the review!

As high concept pictures go, "Air Bud" has the promising, if limited, come-on of a basketball-playing pooch. While it's true he drools rather than dribbles, golden retriever Buddy has uncanny accuracy at popping a ball into the hoop with his snout. Thankfully, the filmmaker's don't overplay this "stupid dog trick" and focus on some enduring, as well as creaky, family values.
