Air Bud - Seventh Inning Fetch

Movie / Show Details

Amazon.com

That athletic phenom of a retriever is back for his fourth movie, trying his paw at baseball this time. Disney hasn’t strayed far from the franchise formula, siccing upon the poor retriever yet another set of doggie thieves–this time mad scientists who want to capture Buddy and his pups to isolate the “Super Sports Gene.” The original Josh (heartthrob Kevin Zegers) is also back, only to be dispatched to college soon after the opening credits. So it’s younger sister Andrea (Caitlin Wachs) who needs Buddy’s help this time, as she muffs her baseball debut and suffers the benign neglect of her parents (Cynthia Stevenson and Richard Karn). As with its predecessors, this is harmless, if inane, fun. Kids and dogs are heroes; adults are mostly benevolent screw-ups. Raccoons and scientists may take issue with their portrayals, but, then again, how many scientists operate their labs out of trailer parks? Ages 4 and older. –Kimberly Heinrichs
