Good start, but then it gets ruined

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

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.

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)

It is a "family friendly" movie in the fact it contains no bad language, violence, adult themes, or actual violence. My 6 year old niece loves it because it has adorable little puppies. However, one thing did annoy me very much. It was rather sexist. There is only one strong female character and she is victim of a stereotypical, hyper-feminine personality. Personally, if I had daughters i would not let them watch this movie. There are several strong male characters with their own personalities, but the female is, of course, stereotypical. The writers could not have been more shallow and two-dimensional. Find another movie, like Ponyo. :)
