Air Bud

Laughter, tears, slapstick, sporting action and a dog in a vest - it's all good half-term fun, made easier on accompanying parents by the beautiful scenery and some assured direction from Smith.

This is some dog.

The supporting cast are well aware that they're just sideline players and are happy to hold their own while the show is stolen by the slam-dunking dog. Kids'll love it.

...a delightful surprise, a well-told children's tale with the kind of old-fashioned emotional resonance that's too often lost today amid crude pratfalls and smart-mouth remarks.
