"If a pig can herd sheep, then the field is wide open for animals with unusual talents, and not just on Letterman's Late Show, either. Buddy, the golden retriever who made an unexpected hit in the initial Air Bud (1997), shows just how far you can stretch one joke over the course of two movies. Which isn't as far as the makers hoped, unfortunately. While the first film--about a performing dog who runs away from an abusive clown, befrien ..."
"Three is a charm for the Air Bud franchise, which returns to the screen to showcase the athletic talents of Buddy, the golden retriever who made his film debut as a basketball star in the original Air Bud (1997). If the second movie, Air Bud: Golden Receiver (1998) wore out its welcome (with Buddy as a football dynamo), Disney's third installment seems to have rekindled its initial freshness. Buddy takes to the soccer field this time, a ..."

"Un film qui exploite le filon des gros lézards en images de synthèse : un jeune garçon dont les parents ont été tués par des dragons de Komodo, retourne sur les lieux de la tragédie pour conjurer sa peur… Le film, s'il pèche à la fois par sa réalisation approximative et ses effets pas si exceptionnels, reste un moment de série B plaisant (surtout pour les créatures en animatronics qui ont une tête impayable !). Son DVD propose un ..."
