air bud 2 represent golden receiver be a very bad rehearse in make a sequel in the course of a single year . the first film be cute and cuddly and charm . the idea of a dog playing on a basketball team be quite far fetched and but he defiantly pull off enough stunt to save the concept . even the human story have some explanation to it . josh father be kill in a plane crash and so he be sad . and the audience become emotionally involve as well . now for the poorly make sequel . it be terrible . this be the bad kind of bad sequel and the kind that change the good idea and turn them into bad one . the kind that change the main plot piece in one way and this time and the k 9 play football instead of basketball . no madder how much time be spend in mind over matter and benefit of a doubt and walk into with an open mind of an attitude you have with a film like this and there be no positive thinking when it come to down right bad film making . the sequel star kevin zegers a josh and who be in eight grade . he live with his mother and little sister in a seattle suburb . in the first film the human story involve him lose his father in a plane accident and which the audience can relate to and most people know what it feel like to lose a close love one . in this movie and the emotional plot be a bit more complicated . josh mother be date once again . he and buddy and his dog who can play basketball and do not like this at all . why . if i be in his shoe i would love to have an extra parent in my life and especially one this nice . the man name be patrick sullivan and and josh mother and jackie and meet him become he be a local veterinarian for buddy . the animal story be too simple . josh be influence by his best friend to try out for the school football team and the timber wolf . the team itself look like something from america funny home video and the can even catch a ball without trip or plummet into each other . so when bud show up one day and he prove he can play a a receiver for them and and be no doubt the team best player . buddy extremely cute in his football costume . oh and he be enough to melt the heart . the dog be the best in this movie as well . too bad there wasn not enough stunt do by him to draw attention away from the fact that no one ever ask any question about a dog play off a school football team . there be a very bad sub plot about russian circus worker that like steal amazing animal and of course they try to catch buddy . but their dim mind be rule over by the animal and end up do what look like a home alone scenario to them . air bud 2 represent golden receiver be much more goofy than the first too . the russian kidnapper add a bunch of lamebrain slapstick that and i have to admit make me laugh and at the stupidity of it all . there be way too many sequence that detail a screwball nature and too few scene that depict the true reason why people will see this movie to see a dog play football . the performance be also quite the embarrassment . i like gregory harrison and robert costanzo presentation and but the overall acting grade would be equivalent to a d plus . kevin zegers and cynthia stevenson be absolutely pathetic . there be a few hilarious moment near the end by a couple of football announcer and but that isn not even worth mention . will child enjoy this movie . perhaps and but even they will grow weary when the heart felt discussion become too long and deep . they will most certainly complain that the dog do not get enough screen time in and and loath over the fast changing script and and protest against the boring performance and and argue that this movie be trash in comparison the origami al air bud and a i do . i suppose that they will think the dog be adorable .
