Air Bud - Golden Receiver Details

Children who couldn't get enough of Air Bud's basketball-playing dog will get a kick out of this sequel, in which our canine friend and his owner, Josh (Kevin Zegers), take up the time-honoured pastime of American football. Adults, however, will roll their eyes at the goofy animal-abduction subplot, while Nora Dunn as the lead villain could learn a thing or two about acting from her animal co-star. It's passable entertainment, but it would have been better with more emphasis on sports action and less on Josh's opposition to his widowed mother's love life.
