Kevin Carr 7M Pictures It's not as good as the previous Space Buddies was, but with a Christmas theme, it makes a great thing to watch with the family during the holidays. Rated: 3/5 Jul 21, 2012 Full Review James Plath Movie Metropolis Without a doubt the worst Buddies movie and one of the more tedious holiday films I've had to sit through. Rated: 3/10 Feb 11, 2012 Full Review Brian Orndorf DVDTalk.com It's a tidy story, but never remarkable, and a few burp jokes reveal disconcerting limitations to the goodwill of the film. Rated: C+ Dec 7, 2009 Full Review Ryan Cracknell Movie Views Santa Buddies is the equivalent of a flaming bag of doggie dung on your doorstep: it's impossible to explain what you did to deserve it and you want it gone and forgotten as soon as possible. Dec 5, 2009 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...immediately establishes itself as a pointless and downright interminable family comedy that's almost entirely lacking in elements designed to appeal to older viewers. Rated: .5/4 Nov 29, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member some weird person sent me a picture of a frog, I'm considering legal action. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the worst Christmas movies I've had to sit through. Don't recommend at all. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member The epitome of the Buddies franchise. Completely forgettable, boring, and soft is all I can say too many spin offs and sequels ruin a franchise. It's lazy, cliqued, and rather disastrous. The acting is okay but the animals barely talk with little to no emotion the human characters are boring and the film tries too hard, it's horrible and it's boring. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie should be used to torture prisoners of war into giving up secrets. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/15/19 Full Review Audience Member (Quick review) Santa Buddies is a 2009 family Christmas film directed by Robert Vince. The film stars Zachary Gordon as Santa Paws and Christopher Lloyd as Stan Cruge. A poorly executed film that is displeasing to both the eyes and soul. The cast was out of place, the characters were insultingly generic, the special effects were incredibly unsettling, the story was uninteresting and disengaging, but the only reason I'm not giving the film a one is because of its very small but still effective heart. Overall I give it a 2/10 - bad film, wouldn't recommend Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Very poor showing from the successful Disney stable. Some of the lamest CGI seen on screen combined with a cringeworthy script. You’d rather be on Santa’s naughty list than see this !! Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/16/19 Full Review Read all reviews
