The children and young ones will definitely like "Super Buddies", that much is guaranteed.I sat down to watch "Super Buddies" together with my 6 year old son, whom enjoyed the movie quite a lot, and he was especially smitten with the puppy superheroes. And as an adult, I must say that the movie actually turned out to be fun enough to watch. Sure, you take into consideration that this is a kids movie, but it is still entertaining.The story told in "Super Buddies" about five puppies that accidentally become superheroes and must work together to stop a shape-shifting bully from outer space.Sure, this was as campy and corny as it gets, but again do take into consideration that this is a children's movie. And trust me, the story will sink right in with the kids. I can testify to that, because my son was thoroughly amused throughout the course of the movie, and he was often rooting for the puppies at the screen.The puppies had been trained well, because they performed quite adequately on the screen and it was a joy to watch them mill about doing their cute acts."Super Buddies" is actually a wholesome family movie that is well-worth taking the time to sit down and watch. We happened to enjoy it, and I am going to rate it a solid 6 out of 10 stars.

People are being a little too harsh about this movie, after all it is about a group of talking superhero puppies. I must admit that there is a slight lameness about this movie though. It's hilarious when a group of adults create a film that is trying to be "cool" when in fact it's not. I'm not sure if they're doing it ironically or if they're really trying and are just totally clueless.The whole thing is utterly ridiculous but the cuteness factor is off the chart which makes the movie bearable. The human's acting annoys me the most though. It's goofy and idiotic and insults a child's intelligence. It seems to me that people think kids are getting dumber...and the truth is they probably are since this is what they watch nowadays.Overall not too bad but this is definitely the worst movie out of the entire Disney Buddies series.

I randomly came across this movie. My son (3 years) loves super heroes and dogs, so I thought he would love it. I was right, he loves it. He says it's the best movie ever! I think the acting is pretty awful and I can't stand the dog that talks like what an adult thought early kids in the nineties sounded like. This must be what John Ratzenberger does with his time, when he's not doing voices for PIXAR. Go ahead and watch it with your kids, if they're young and enjoy movies about dogs. However, remember that the acting is about as good as you average student film.

As though the clichés weren't even used enough, this film just had to hammer in the infamous superhero cliché mix. Now, where do I begin on how awful this film is... I know! How about how the main character (the kids in other words) aren't even the same (yet again), the MacGuffins ("the Rings of Inspiron") are nothing more than just stupid colored rings, and the CGI sucks (especially the aliens.)The only thing that I am rather pleased about is how John Ratzenburger is in this film. He's the only reason I can tolerate it... That, and how the sheriff acts after being body-snatched...So if you're reading this, Mr. Vince, please do the right thing and kill off the franchise. Seriously, I cannot tolerate having to watch stupid genre after stupid genre of the same cutesy puppies...Sincerely,Mr. FilmedMuffin (idiotic beginner reviewee)
