	Santa Buddhas  Jan 9, 2010
The dogs in this movie are very cute. No question asked. I thought kids would enjoy the movie yet after watching it for about 20 minutes with 2 kids, both had their attention concentrated somewhere else. Cute dogs dressed as santas are simply not the only ingredients necessary to make a movie work. Let's not offend the kid's intelligence. Santa losing his fake beard, making the movie appear to have more with zen and Buddhism than with Christianity, an evil and scary dog catcher - who can make this kind of stuff up? There are plenty of good movies about Christmas out there. This one just isn't one of them.
	Worth Getting In Blu-ray? No.  Jan 9, 2010
Santa Buddies isn't going to change any lives. It's a talking dog movie on roughly the same quality level as talking dog movies have been since Benji had a point of view. What is painful to adults is beloved by children, so my 5 year old has asked to watch this movie at least once a day since she got it on Christmas eve. With dozens of movies to choose from (and a mother eager to rent something else) that proves that it passes muster with it's target audience. The movie has already been reviewed exhaustively and well, as has the technical presentation. So from the point of view of a parent who has already committed to a talking dog film, is Santa Buddies worth getting on Blu-ray? In a word, no. If the combo is the same price as the standard dvd, there's no reason not to go for the deluxe package but viewing Santa Buddies on the blu-ray disc is to expose it's technical flaws. Making dogs talk requires special effects, and lots of them. When watching on the standard dvd, the sudden fuzz added to the background is less glaring. On the very clean and crisp Blu-ray version a dog in full conversation suddenly stands out sharply against the blurred background as though it's a cut out laid upon it. In the next scene the background and the animals are roughly equal in definition, but let a canine converse and the split feeling returns. Santa Buddies didn't go all out for the technical effects. Your small child won't care which version they watch, but you might find you like Santa Buddies better without the definition. Speaking for myself, I think I'll be buying another in this series, if only to move on to a different film by Valentine's Day.
	Putrid  Jan 9, 2010
This is honestly one of the worst "films" ever made, at least outside of Soviet Russia. Yes, our daughter (4) was amused, but that's like saying doughnuts are good food because your dog will eat them. Crap crap crap. And poor George Wendt looked like he wanted to be anywhere else but frolicking with the Santa Buddies. One positive: The expressionless talking dogs make you appreciate how important the eyes are in human communication. Irrelevant, but interesting. So - I don't do many reviews, and most of mine have been positive. Was this one "illegal, obscene, threatening, defamatory, invasive of privacy, infringing of intellectual property rights, or otherwise injurious to third parties or objectionable"? If so, it doesn't belong here.
	SANTA CLAUS GOES TO THE DOGS...LITERALLY!  Jan 8, 2010
I love dogs, Santa Claus, and Christmas... so I thought a movie with all three would be great. Alas, "Santa Buddies" is no Christmas classic. It is more like a piece of Christmas crud that might (hopefully, accidentally) get placed in your stocking. The magic icicle that stores Christmas Cheer throughout the year is melting fast. It seems that society as a whole has grown too cynical for Christmas. As a result, Santa Claus ( an especially pained and uncomfortable George Wendt) faces a major crisis/power failure at the North Pole. Also, Puppy Claus chooses to ignore his responsibility of delivering gifts to dogs all over the world. He runs away and meets up with the "Dog Buddies" gang; who all must evade the clutches of dog catcher Christopher Lloyd. "Santa Buddies" piles on every Christmas cliche in the book. Will Lloyd's cold and crusty dog catcher develop a heart of gold and give a free dog to a disabled boy? Will enough Christmas cheer be found in the hearts of cynical, jaded humans to save Christmas? Well, yes, but the production values on this "Direct to DVD" Christmas clunker are terribly shoddy. Wendt and Lloyd, who have both had much better days doing "Cheers," "Alice In Wonderland," "Bye Bye Birdie" and "Taxi" and "Back To The Future" films, respectively, don't seem too happy to be in this movie, for painfully obvious reasons. The best that can be said about "Santa Buddies" is that it is occasionally cute. But it is the type of Christmas movie that parents might put in the DVD player to act as a "video babysitter" for their children while they are otherwise too busy or too stressed out during the holiday season. I can't imagine any family taking time out of their busy holiday schedules to sit down and watch this together. After watching "Santa Buddies" (and remember, I love dogs, Santa Claus, and Christmas) I regret purchasing it and do not intend to watch it ever again.
	Five new buddies for your little ones  Jan 7, 2010
This set was the hit of Christmas for my 7-year-old, and believe me, was far from the only thing she received. The movie is typical of the Buddies franchise -- take that as you will -- but of course the charm of this gift set is the plush dogs. They're fairly high-quality, and each has its unique feature -- Mud Bud's dirty spots look so realistic, my husband and I find ourselves absent-mindedly trying to brush off the dirt! Rosebud has a pink Santa cap, setting her apart. Budderball has his own football jersey, and Buddha and B-Dawg have unique necklaces. The price at first seems steep, but if you consider how much five plush toys typically cost, plus the movie, it's a decent deal. Guaranteed to please any young lover of the Buddies genre.
