Air Bud: Surfer, Dog

Steve Cooter (Matthew McConaughey) is having a bad day. He overslept and lost his job, his pot dealer and best friend (Kevin Corrigan) got arrested, and his fiance (Heather Graham)broke up with him because he's a 35-year old pot head who lives in his mother's basement and only lives for the surf. After drowning his sorrows in pot and beer, Steve takes his jeep out for a spin in hopes of saving his relationship but when a poodle runs out in front of his jeep, Steve is forced off the road and welcomed into the cold arms of death...

...or so we think.

Now, Steve has been given a second chance in the body of 'Bud', that cooky, incredibly talented dog from the other movies in the "Air Bud" series such as "Air Bud: Golden Receiver" and "Air Bud: Seventh Inning Fetch". Bud roams the beaches in search of someone, anyone who can help him get back to his human form when he comes across Dune (Luke Wilson). Dune adopts Bud as his own and discovers that Bud has some skillz when it comes to surfing. Suddenly, Dune and Bud are thrust into the spotlight and become celebrities and heroes to humans and dogs alike. Because Bud can surf. And not just like, when you put a dog on a surfboard and push him out into the water FORCING him to surf against his will. No, Bud picks up the surfboard and catches his own waves. It's really something to see which is why they become famous. But that's just the beginning.
Like anything else that is rare, Bud's talents become coveted by the head of the Green Corporation, Thad Burrows (Eric Mcormick), who hires thugs (Scott Caan, Seann William Scott) to steal Bud away from Dune. But even thugs have hearts, and after spending only a few minutes with Bud and Dune, the thugs change their minds about what's important in life and turn the screws on their greedy, meany meany boss.
A perfect double feature with Smooches 3, Air Bud; Surfer, Dog, is a must see this Valentine's Day.

There is so much going on here I can not think of a concise tag line. But here is my best offer:

He's no dog....he's a tigre!
