Alan Sues, Benji 1, Chevy Chase

Chevy Chase plays a private eye who is murdered and returns to life as a dog (Benji). The film--a plot reversal of a 1951 Dick Powell comedy called You Never Can Tell--has a dash of Chase- styl...( read more  read more... )e comedy and a big serving of Benji-flavored cuteness, making for a perfectly fine family movie with a little something for everyone. Jane Seymour is an attractive love interest, Omar Sharif (amazingly) is on board, and former Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In star Alan Sues has a small part. --Tom Keogh

    A great concept of having a murdered detective come back to life as a dog to solve his own murder. There's enough romance and comedy to make for an enjoyable movie. The rainy London setting is wonderfully atmospheric and the ending is something special. I want to see it again soon.

    Not one of Chevy Chase's best films but the pairing of him with Benji makes this a must see family movie to watch!!!!!!!

    I saw this...I think I read the book...or once held the book... I think it kinda stank despite the obvious cuteness. (no, not Chevy)
