If you can accept the premise of a soccer-crazy town deep in this country's heartland--complete with a game-fixing Mafioso dad, then you can buy this story of a talented dog who brings a boy and his adoptive father together and helps the team win the championship. Kids in the 6-10 range will enjoy the comeuppances received by a kid bully, maniacal dog catcher, drill sergeant coach, and buffoon coach, even as adults may wince at the stereotypes. --Kimberly Heinrichs

 Abysmally Bad Movie May 5, 2008
Where to begin?! I don't normally write reviews, but this movie was so remarkably bad that I couldn't remain silent. The plot is thin, the acting is awful, the writing is worse. Save your time and money! If you MUST watch a movie about a dog playing soccer, go for the "Air Bud" version.

A fantastic little dog.My dog is almost the same.He believes to be one of the kids.
Besides,the story is well performed,(apart from some violent scenes)
but it is adviced that the kids watching this,ought to be accompanied by their parents.
That dog is super fa-vo-lo-so
Fabulous n' cute.
Simply the key of the whole story.

Not a good movie for children!!! December 28, 2004

This purports to be a fun children's movie about a dog playing soccer and an orphan fitting in with his new family. Instead, it has an evil twist that includes a demonic dog catcher that terrorizes the canines and mean-spirited children being nasty to other kids. I ended up fast forwarding to only the dog playing soccer parts; the other parts were either too stupid, scary or ill-conceived to let my daughter watch them. I don't know why a child's movie has to have such cruelty and nastiness.
Besides the above, the plot and dialogue is terribly crafted. This is one I would definitely avoid--regardless of the cute cover that appeals to children.

As much as I wanted to like SOCCER DOG THE MOVIE, when it was over, I felt very little. The premise is cute but the execution of the movie was so ill-conceived that in its attempts to be a canine ROCKY, all we get is some bad one-liners, an inept cast, and a movie that seemed much longer than its ninety minutes. Jeremy Foley tries hard as the orphan taken in by former orphan James Marshall and Olivia d'abo. But the movie is filled with so many distractions that it loses its energy early and never gets it back. The addition of the three stooges at the DMV is preposterously unfunny; Billy Drago's demonic dog catcher merely a boring plot device; and the ultimate soccer game has little tension or excitement. Lincoln's return to his original owner is also a letdown, and the addition of the new golden retriever only sets up the unnecessary sequel.
While the family may enjoy it, I don't think adults will find it stimulating, so let the kids watch it alone.
