My Thoughts:I don't know that there's much of a review to write here. The plot is cheesy, the performances about average, the production values straight-to-DVD. Yet, I have all the Buddies movies, and I've enjoyed watching them all. So ask yourself these questions to know if this film is for you:
Have you watched and enjoyed any of the other Buddies movies? Do you want to watch a kids movie about talking puppies with super powers? Do you want a movie that's family friendly, kid friendly, and super hero themed? If any of that gets a yes, you'll enjoy this film.
Are you expecting something besides silly fun? Do you need deep seated angst in your super heroes? If those get a yes, you should skip this movie.
Bechdel Test: Fail
