Great movie don't listen to all the wet blankets

I grew up with Benji my kids love them. We love this.i t was so much like the original. The 1997 was awful and my kids laughed the whole movie this had feelings good actors and the best dog. Great comeback for Benji and it is a kids movie completely.it deals with real life issues not just after school special issues

Little Dog Big Heart

I think Benji is a sad but happy movie that will make you cry and laugh!! The love that dogs have for people is never ending and this movie really brings that to life. The little dog has many big tricks to show. This was a amazing movie and I hope everyone will enjoy it!!! :)

Beautiful!

These movies always make me cry. The opening scene shattered my heart completely. These babies how do they do it. People may say it's dark but this movie is amazing. It's pure love. It will definitely make you cry but it's worth a watch. Just watch it when you're ready to shed some tears.

Nice family movie

I liked this movie it has a good mix of love and suspense... To be honest i am amazed by the Goofs people mention... This movie is a goof.. no dog is that rational en forward thinking... although i once owed a dog (beagle) that indeed pushed a chair close to the table to get to the meat that was there...

Trivia
Brandon Camp the writer/director is the son of Joe Camp director of the original Benji.

Goofs
Detective Lyle is clearly mistaken about the "underground transport tunnels," which have windows, an obvious sign that this is an above-ground building entered at ceiling level. Also, low-lying New Orleans is known for its high water table; any hole in the ground quickly fills with water--hence the above-ground mausoleums like the ones at the cemetery Benji runs through. Water must be continuously pumped out of underground structures in New Orleans; decrepit abandoned tunnels would be perpetually flooded.

Crazy credits
There are some outtakes included after the credits.
