So I'm going to be honest here. Takes a lot of courage and a big man to admit this, but here goes:

I rented Air Bud Spikes Back last night on DVD.

And I enjoyed it.

Yesterday night me, Kenny, Alex, Brian, and Peony watched Air Bud Spikes Back at her house. Air Bud has made 5 movies, this volleyball one being the latest. This dog is truly amazing. He's tackled the game of volleyball, football, soccer, baseball, and frisbee. He's even got the time to capture criminals. *WARNING* THE FOLLOWING MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS FROM THE MOVIE AIR BUD SPIKES BACK. PLEASE SKIP THIS PARAGRAPH IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO KNOW THE ENDING* The movie started off pretty slow. IN fact, Air Bud doesn't even touch a volleyball until about 45 minutes into the movie, and its only an 85 minute movie. The best part of the movie was when Air Bud is playing a beach volleyball game, jumps, and uses his paws to block a spike. It was an amazing play, something you'd see on Sportscenter. It was a little disappointing that he never actually spiked the ball or served, but his team did make it to the championship game. At the end, he's in a two-on-two volleyball game with Gabrielle Reece, meaning Air Bud goes pro. That's just downright nutty. If my serve got blocked by a dog, I'd run off the court and cry like a school girl. Air Bud was a better setter than I am though.

I can't wait for Air Bud Extreme Water Polo.

It's not easy going to Blockbuster and renting Air Bud, especially when the guy in front of you is renting a man movie (Hildago). And it's annoying how the girl at the register says the movie outloud to you to confirm it, like you'll hand her the movie and she'll say outloud to the entire line of people behind you, "Hildago right?" or "Air Bud huh?" It's not like I'm going to suddenly say "Oh wait, I grabbed Air Bud? Oops, my mistake, I meant to rent Gladiators. You can put that silly Air Bud movie away. I'm going to go get that manly movie I intended to get in the first place."

One of these days I'm going to walk up to two strangers having a conversation, and just join in by saying stuff like "Yea totally, that's exactly how I feel." Then I'll just walk away and make them wonder if they know me from somewhere.

Air Bud is underrated.
