For the Love of Benji poster & wallpaper

Allen Fiuzat, Art Vasil, Bridget Armstrong

What begins as a pleasure trip for Benji and his adopted human family soon turns into a tale of mystery, suspense, and international intrigue in this 1977 sequel to Joe Camp's hit movie, Benji....( read more  read more... ) Without subtitles to decipher the mostly Greek dialogue, kids and grown-ups alike view the action from the limited perspective of this sweet and talented mutt. Here's what Benji knows: 1) Ever since a stranger pressed a tiny metal plate against his paw, a handful of seedy-looking characters (and the occasional Doberman) keep trying to capture him; 2) He's hungry; 3) He misses Mary (the chatty housekeeper played by Patsy Garrett), the kids (whom he rescued from kidnappers in the original), and his lady love, Tiffany (noticeably droopy from an unmentionable "condition"). Not a great situation when stranded a few thousand miles from home. The action chugs along thanks to numerous chase scenes, a smattering of gunplay, and a heroic ending; but the overall effect falls short of the original. (Ages 4 to 9) --Liane Thomas

    To think...
    At 9 years old, we kids cried to see this movie at the drive-in, but our cruel parents took us instead to a movie named "Star Wars", which forever changed us. Benji ended up being a dated forgettable movie. If our parents had given in to our tantrums, perhaps we'd hav...( read more)e a roomful of Benji merchandise instead.

    I have never been very keen on movies starring animals, but I did like this one when I was around 8.
