For the Love of Benji

What a great movie. No action, no swearing, no gore, just a wonderful family movie with that lovable dog, Benji. The story seems unlikely and impossible, but who cares? I don't. It makes you appreciate whatever pet you have. Wheter it be a dog, a cat, a bird, a fish, etc. Like other Benji movies, his one is fun to watch and should be seen with the family, including the family pet. Thumbs up!

Benji, that adorable dog, is supposed to be in a happier situation after the first film. He is a beloved family member and a pampered pooch. When some family members decide to go to Greece, Benji gets to go along. However, there are doggynappers lurking nearby and Benji is almost seized upon. But, being the brilliant dog that he is, Benji manages to escape their clutches and begin exploring a lovely city in Greece and its surroundings. He helps himself to a bit a Greek pasta at a restaurant and has a close call with a Doberman, among other things. Will he be able to find his way back to his family? If you love dogs and family films, this is a good choice. It is mostly Benji on the loose in Greece, where the scenery is a knockout, and where Benji gets in and out of one scrape after another. There are a few iffy passages, where guns are flashed and Benji is subjected to chloroform. However, this is mostly a little dog on the run in a charming movie. Families everywhere, for the love of Mike and Benji, please locate this one for an entertaining evening of fun for your loved ones.

I have given this film a 7. My Dad would take me to the video shop once a week and I would, without fail, come home with 'For the love of Benji'

I loved this film and have fond memories of it.

It is clever as it was one of the first films made from a dogs point of view. It showed how intelligent and perceptive dogs are - they know good people from bad people almost instantly.

It also shows how sly, cunning and resourceful they can be when made to fend for themselves.

It did have a few heartstring pulling moments, when Benji is generous with today's spoil.. being separated from loved ones and reunited again.

I think children today would still enjoy this film.. regardless of the amount of running Benji does.

This movie is amazing, I really love it. But I have to admit the first Benji is the best because it was so original and sad and has such a great story line to it, but the second one is not far behind it's first. This is the kind of movie, just like the first Benji, that makes you think of things, it makes you stop and forget about all your worries and cares, it lets you just watch the dog and live his life in the movie. I had a tear run down my face when the part came on, when Benji saves Cindy, and those flashbacks he's had. This dog had a real talent in the movies, the way he showed his emotions and just the way he is. This movie leaves a big impacted on you once you see it, it's called the spirit on Benji.

For the love of Benji is a pretty good yet uneven, strange movie with a lot of action scenes of Benji out running trouble. He's a very bright and cute dog and easy to cheer for. It really was never clear to the audience what exactly was implanted in his paw are exactly who the antagonists were? It was very strange that they filmed the movie in Greece with no one speaking English? I'm not sure why on earth they would do that? Little children will love Benji and adults will most likely say how much time is left? Still, fairly wholesome family entertainment.
