Air Bud - Seventh Inning Fetch (2002)

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 Amazon.com

Good movie despite unrealism

Air Bud is back---this time he has a baseball bat in his teeth! Another sequal to the Air Bud series. Let me get my point across. Obviousely this movie shows a lot of unrealism. "A dog holding a baseball bat in his teeth and hitting the ball!? Then, him catching a baseball with his teeth!? Come on, give me a break!!!" Sure this is all a little far fetched--but sometimes thats just how some movies are. All the Air Buds are far fetched-but that doesn't necessarily make them bad movies! I love watching Air Bud. I've seen most of them. This (just like the others) is a good family film to watch. Besides-it's a Golden retriever playing sports-ya gotta love it!!! June 19, 2008

If you love Goldens

This is a very cute family movie, especially if you have Goldens and kids or grandkids! January 5, 2007

Solid family movie

Sure there are a million air bud movies, but this is nice family entertainment. Simple, direct story that young children can follow
and root for the air bud family. Emphasis on point of view of children
and a family that can say "I love you" to each other. Minimizes "evil
bad guy" angle so as not to be a distraction as in so many other movies.
Good for 1rst and 2nd graders. October 3, 2006

Not Shabby.

This movie is okay but I'm not too interested in it. The first and second Air bud movies were the best to me. This movie couldn't make me laugh so I sticked to the first two Air bud movies. February 22, 2006

You have got to be kidding me, right?

Any movie that only manages to get 12 people to scribble down a few thoughts is one that you are probably better leaving on the store's shelf. Those who did manage to write a review are eager to tell you that AIR BUD - SEVENTH INNING FETCH is one of the best of the "Air Bud" sequels. Well...let me tell you, folks: that's not saying much. This movie is pure trash. It was probably filmed in three days and merely churned out in order to get kids to drag their parents to one more "Air Bud" movie.

Let's hope that Bud is on his way out. After all, there aren't a lot of sports left to play. But somehow I get the eery feeling that I'm going to be taking my kids to the 50th sequel: AIR BUD - CANINE CURLING or, better yet, AIR BUD - BOBSLED BARK. Come on , folks. Do us a favor and let's put this franchise to sleep. October 23, 2005
