3/10. Whooe. This stunk. I don't know if there was a plot, but here goes. Buddy does volleyball, is caught, and is used to steal a diamond, and then play volleyball. That's it. Now. Let's talk about the characters that can't seem to stay from movie to movie. There's even different directors for each of the 5 movies! Why couldn't Josh Framm be in this one? Maybe because he knew that it was going to be a flop, none of the characters were the same, and he was off doing something better than a straight to video movie. I could have sworn that Buddy had a new family cause no one looked a like. I was like what happened here? Then Kajita, or whatever her name is who plays the main character, wasn't even in the last movie. So, it gets hard to follow. The Tammy gal was in the last 2, so I thought I saw her from somewhere. The parents and gram gram are kind of clueless. The parents went on a veterinary clinic convention, and they were gone for most of the movie. Aren't conventions just a couple of days, not weeks? Now, what about a boy that likes to skate and play volleyball? Is that a weird combination or what? The Robbers were idiots, and were just plain out a worthless piece of time.

Well, now that the character follies are out of the way. Time for some technical follies. If you read license plates, it said Washington. Well, Andrea (that's the Kajita girl, the main character) said she would raise half of the money to go on a trip to visit her friend that moved away (Tammy). Yet, she is raising $600 by herself, thus making a trip like that $1200. I can understand from the East Coast but from Washington!?!?!? What happened to Buddy's children? They were in the last one. I guess it took up too much of their time to train 5 or more dogs again. Want me to keep going, cause I will anyway. Let's jump to the last game. You seem them constantly losing, and their morale is low because Buddy isn't there. Once Buddy comes, they're all happy and can beat the other team, but once you see a point played, they show you the score, and they're almost tied! So, if we see them constantly losing, how can we know that they were actually tied? Once again, this was a dumb storyline, and was probably made on a $5 million budget. Obviously, this was a cliche as the other 3 movies are too. The storyline was dumb, but hey, this is geared toward younger kids, not adults. Why do we need more Air Bud movies? The original ones is dead.They seriously need to stop doing these movies, but if they continue, here is a couple of ideas:

Air Bud Six is likely to be "Air Bud: On the Mat" where he becomes a wrestler. Air Bud: Bowling for Doggy Treats.

Air Bud : Pump the Gas (Car Racing - description : Buddy Team Up with his son (the one owning a gas station) to win the Indy 500)

Air Bud : En Passant (Chessmaster - description : became chessmaster and at the end beat the World Champ in 6 moves! to rescue Tammy)

Air Bud : Up In The Sky (Skydiving - description : he got to rescue Tammy by jumping from a plane to another)

Air Bud : On the Greens (Golf - descrption : beat Tiger, win the World Cup and save Tammy)

Air Bud : Vs MVP (Hockey - description : End Rivality with MVP and team up with the monkey to save the world(or Tammy))

Air Bud : Walk the dog (Yo-yo - description : play yo-yo at the same time stop mad scientist to clone Tammy)

Air Bud : With Poker Face (Poker - description : Buddy go to Vegas playing poker and he had to win to rescue his owner from the debt)

Coming next week to fox! All of these ideas came from IMDB.com. So thanks from there. Anyway, see the movie if you have a younger child but don't watch it yourself.
