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...

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.

Two smart dogs.

This film delivers make-believe reality where emotions count instead of slapstick stuff with goofy bad guys. I particularly felt Benji when he was in the street on a rainy day looking in gloom early on in the film, and the mysticism at first, about his new equally intelligent girlfriend-to-be tramp hound of which who also surprises me along the course of the movie.

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!!! :)

Family instant classic

Captured both the original movie with a new storyline the fit in perfectly! After my daughter saw the movie, I went on eBay and bought the original plush toy .

Trivia
Co-writer, executive producer, and series creator Joe Camp and co-writer and director Brandon Camp are father and son, but are no relation to mother and daughter Lacy Camp, who plays the policewoman, and Darby Camp, who plays Frankie.

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.
