... View MoreThe movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
... View MoreWhile it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
... View MoreThe children and young ones will definitely like "Super Buddies", that much is guaranteed.I sat down to watch "Super Buddies" together with my 6 year old son, whom enjoyed the movie quite a lot, and he was especially smitten with the puppy superheroes. And as an adult, I must say that the movie actually turned out to be fun enough to watch. Sure, you take into consideration that this is a kids movie, but it is still entertaining.The story told in "Super Buddies" about five puppies that accidentally become superheroes and must work together to stop a shape-shifting bully from outer space.Sure, this was as campy and corny as it gets, but again do take into consideration that this is a children's movie. And trust me, the story will sink right in with the kids. I can testify to that, because my son was thoroughly amused throughout the course of the movie, and he was often rooting for the puppies at the screen.The puppies had been trained well, because they performed quite adequately on the screen and it was a joy to watch them mill about doing their cute acts."Super Buddies" is actually a wholesome family movie that is well-worth taking the time to sit down and watch. We happened to enjoy it, and I am going to rate it a solid 6 out of 10 stars.
... View MoreAir Bud was a really good movie. I still like to watch it today. Why Disney executives had to make air bud and his children overstay their visit, I don't know. The movies just seemed to get worse and worse. And the series really does show, recycling constant jokes that we've heard in the other movies. Not to mention, in this movie, its execution as a superhero movie has been done so many times beforehand that it's not even that big of a deal anymore. The clichés are so obvious, and you could see them coming from a mile away. I think that even kids know that this movie franchise has way more movies than it should. And should another installment be released, expect me to return until these movies stop being made.
... View MorePeople are being a little too harsh about this movie, after all it is about a group of talking superhero puppies. I must admit that there is a slight lameness about this movie though. It's hilarious when a group of adults create a film that is trying to be "cool" when in fact it's not. I'm not sure if they're doing it ironically or if they're really trying and are just totally clueless.The whole thing is utterly ridiculous but the cuteness factor is off the chart which makes the movie bearable. The human's acting annoys me the most though. It's goofy and idiotic and insults a child's intelligence. It seems to me that people think kids are getting dumber...and the truth is they probably are since this is what they watch nowadays.Overall not too bad but this is definitely the worst movie out of the entire Disney Buddies series.
... View MoreI randomly came across this movie. My son (3 years) loves super heroes and dogs, so I thought he would love it. I was right, he loves it. He says it's the best movie ever! I think the acting is pretty awful and I can't stand the dog that talks like what an adult thought early kids in the nineties sounded like. This must be what John Ratzenberger does with his time, when he's not doing voices for PIXAR. Go ahead and watch it with your kids, if they're young and enjoy movies about dogs. However, remember that the acting is about as good as you average student film.
