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.

Plot summary
When the five puppies stumble upon the Five Power Rings of Inspiron (alien artifacts abandoned on Earth 16 years ago), they all develop super powers, and are enlisted in Captain Canine's battle against the evil Darkon alien Commander Drex. Captain Canine is commander of space ship Megasis and is from the planet Inspiron. He is the mortal enemy of the Commander Drex. In charge of protecting Princess Jorala and the Five Power Rings from Drex, Megasis places the rings in hiding on the planet Earth, and takes the form of a German Shepherd, intending to stay on earth in very deep cover. Adopted by aspiring young comic book artist Ian Shaeffer, and renamed Captain Canine, he spends 16 happy years on Earth, as Ian recounts the stories of his space adventures. But when the five Buddies discover the Power Rings and instantly develop superpowers, Captain Canine has to train them very quickly indeed - for Commander Drex is headed back to earth, and this time he's determined to succeed.

A canine superhero movie for the entire family...
Being for kids isn't an excuse
Im tired of people giving movies like this an easy time just because its a kids movie. Megamind, The lego movie, and Spiderverse are all infinitely better movies, and are all by a count, kids movies. This movie has no effort or care put into it, and is nothing but a cash grab. Watched it with a friend for fun, and it was a slow movie filled with nothing, no comedy, no drama, no suspense, no entertainmemt outside of laughing at awful cgi and the awful dialogue. Disney has the money to make a good kids film, because they have, countless times, but this is clearly just an attempt of theirs to make a quick dollar.
it's for kids
A lot of adults in these reviews are trying to act like this movie was meant for them. It wasn't. It's a cute movie for kids and most of the kids I know lived this movie and all the other buddies movies. Don't be so harsh if you didn't like it because the target audience did.
