In this fourth installment, Buddy goes for the baseball. And this time around Josh's little sister Andrea is Buddy's sports companion and friend. Don't get me wrong I loved Josh is the first three movies, but it is nice to have a change of main character and this time around it is a girl. Josh Framm has left his home for college, his little sister Andrea and his best friend Golden Retriever Buddy are not taking it to well, Josh makes Buddy promise to take care of Andrea and to watch over her. Which Buddy does just like a good friend should do. Andrea also starts Junior High and her first day turns out to be a disaster, eventually, she and one of her friends tries out for the school baseball team, her friend makes it, but Andrea is put on the team because her friend wants her on the team. Meanwhile a evil scientist and his assistant and a Robber Raccoon plan to steal Buddy's now grown up puppies for an evil experiment. Yes, it sounds cheesy. But it is very enjoyable and you have to use your imagination. The story had good morals such as friendship, never giving up and trying your best. The reason I give this fourth installment a 9 is because the sports announcer the one who was just a little goofy and overenthusiastic, went overboard, he was just a little to weird for my view and the dance he does at the end when the team wins, was laughable and hilarious, but a little bit creepy. I don't know if that was part of the script or something the actor put in. But other then the way to overenthusiastic announcer, the movie was great and I loved it my wife did too. 9/10 for Air Bud: Seventh Inning Fetch

Here we have yet another entry in the neverending "Air Bud" series and it's just boring and serves no purpose. This time Air Bud (or I guess Buddy) takes on baseball. The weirdest thing is that the plot of him playing it doesn't even appear until halfway through the movie. In a film that's relatively short, that can be a problem. There are these two henchman who want to capture Buddy and his offspring because they've found some sports gene in his body that makes people good at sports. This is a stupid plot point and it goes nowhere. They acknowledge that they're just henchmen.There must be some higher up and we never find out who that is. None of this has any reason to exist and it's the exact same as all the other movies. The film even ends with Buddy going to the World Series. Again, how did he get that far in his career? It's the same ending as the last one. Although this one had no farting in it, I'm still going to say it's worse then the third because it has no reason to exist and advances nothing. *1/2

Baaaattterr uppppp!!! Or should I say, baaaaatttterrrr PUPPPP!!!!!! I can honestly now see why God created this earth!! To see the movie Air Bud 4 come to fruition! This movie made Air Bud look like CHUD...and I looooved CHUD! The addition of Rocky the Raccoon really tied things together for me; cause honestly I was completely lost after Air Bud: World Pup. The only thing that could top Air Bud as a soccer player? Of course! A baseball player! This movie absolutely needed to be made! Richard Karn's reprisal of "Patrick" made me jump out of my seat and "beg" for more! My God, please movie industry, keep turning out cinematic gems such as this because I am eating this crap up like a fecal-pheliac!

Why the heck do people care so much if Buddy was only taught basketball? I mean seriously it doesn't matter! Maybe that's why you people think that the fourth movie was bad. I just watched it again and I still love it. Besides if you pay attention, the scientist guy says he wants to steal the super sports gene of Buddy's and his puppy's' and maybe that's how he learned the other sports. Use your imagination, jeez. After I saw the second and third and fourth movies for the first time, I had completely forgotten that the dude only taught Buddy basketball. Just enjoy the movie, don't pay attention to stuff like that because if you do it ruins the movie and you don't like it. If you just watch the movie but don't think about the others, it's enjoyable. In fact, my family enjoyed the first movie so much that we had gotten our first golden retriever, and a golden retriever puppy. Now, that retriever puppy is 4 years old and we have another puppy who just so happens to be a lab. All of this happened because of the Air Bud movies so that just goes to show how good this movie really is. Another reason as to why people didn't like the movie is probably because that's not their favorite genre of movies. People should stick to their favorite genre and comment on those movies not movies that they hate!!!
