Movie Reviews of Space Buddies
Movie Review: great
Summary: 5 Stars
This was shipped at once great entertaining movie recomend it to allMovie Review: Oh come on! Who can't resist cute little puppies in cute little space suits?
Summary: 4 Stars
Over the last year or so, we've seen chimps, houseflies and robots in space, so why not the Buddies? Another in a series of modestly produced family comedies starring cute adorable puppies, Space Buddies pretty much delivers on its title.
First we meet all the cute puppies and their owners (the puppies' voices are furnished by skilled young actors, including Liliana Mumy, daughter of Lost in Space legend Bill Mumy. How do they find themselves near rockets? They stowaway on a school field trip. How do they get those precious little doggie space suits? A special spacesuit-making device that just happens to require no dexterity for its operation. And how do they manage to blast off? That would be telling.
The human story angles rest upon the shoulders of Bill Fagerbakke, playing with as much conviction as he can muster a aeronautic scientist -- a switch from his roles on Coach or Spongebob Squarepants. For plot reasons, he keeps a pet ferret in his shirt pocket (I don't want to spoil the ending, but it has something to do with Amy Sedaris).
Diedrich Bader, who specializes in spaced-out eccentrics and, like Fagerbakke, has a fine career in voice acting (he even narrates Disney CD read-alongs) plays a deluded Russian cosmonaut who just happens to be accompanied by a cute Russian puppy voiced by Jason Earles, whose fearless physical comedy is a highlight of Hannah Montana.
According to a recent Bonnie Hunt Show, there's a pet shelter in Los Angeles that makes prospective owners agree never to dress their dogs if they adopt them. Maybe they can manage to resist the urge by watching the little Space Buddies' tails wag in the space costumes in this film. And stay tuned, Santa Buddies is coming soon! Arf!
Movie Review: One small step for man's best friend
Summary: 4 Stars
This was way better than I thought it would be from the tentative reviews. It's just as good as most recent live action Disney movies, and better than some. It's also got just as good casting, just as good sets, voice acting, props, and, taking into account that it's for kids, story line.
The humans have names like Pi, Slats, and Astro; the dogs have names like Buddha, Rosebud, and MudBuddy. The Russian pitbull is named Spudnik (clever, clever!). Pi, the head spacecraft designer, stutters. Besides the five golden retriever puppies and the pit bull, the other hero is Pi's ferret pal, Gravity. Not your basic space show.
Watching the antics of these cute puppies will have your kids (or you) hitting pause on the remote (or is that paws?). The spaceship design is a cross between the shuttle and the SR 71, the most future forward looking plane ever designed. I can't wait for the ride at Disneyland. Will the kennels now have an astronaut theme?
The extras include a video of Alyson Stoner singing a classic rock, tune, "Dancing in the Moonlight", insterspersed with puppy clips from the film; The Buddies' Guide to Space Travel, with footage of astronauts from John Glenn to Buz Aldrin, narrated by the Buddies; coming attraction trailers; and the best, the Buddy Bloopers. These are funny outtakes with the dogs commenting on their faux pas (fore paws?) and the director yelling "cut".
The original price was through the roof, but Amazon brings this out of this world family comedy down to earth. Rated G for Grrrrrreat.
Movie Review: air bud series, latest movie
Summary: 4 Stars
every once in a while it is like a vacation to suspend adult logic and let yourself enjoy like a child......believing anything is possible. Walt Disney understood that this is as re-juvenating as a vacation. His company continues to present movies that not only allows this activity of mind....but allows us to continue enjoying evenings at home with our children....or grandchildren as is in my case. I have collected all the air bud series and contue to watch them when I need an "ah" evening.
If one is capable of disconecting adult logic and be able to believe in dogs talking to one another then this movie is charming, funny at moments and truly enjoyable. Thanks for the continued family content quality movies.
Movie Review: The Usual Fare
Summary: 4 Stars
An unlikely story of 5 dogs who stow aboard a space shuttle, take a trip to a space station to pick up a Russian dog, land on the moon, then pilot the ship safely back to earth and their loving masters. It's what you would expect in a movie like this: action enough for older kids, comedy and cheese enough for younger ones. Clean fun.
The highest praise I can give it is that my children loved it and I wasn't bored (the first time.) Recommended for children of all ages.
