Rating: 2.5/4 -- A bit dark, for parents who like to spare their kids tears. But that dog never lets us down when it comes to pre-tween entertainment. Full Review
Movie Nation

Rating: 2/4 -- For those looking for the most benign family-friendly entertainment, the nostalgic and corny "Benji" will do the trick. Full Review

Rating: 3/4 -- This 2018 release feels like it arrived fresh from 1974, and that is what makes it a delight. Full Review

Too bad there's no Oscar for Best Animal Performance of the Year. Benji would win hands -- er paws -- down. Full Review
ReelTalk Movie Reviews

Pretty underwhelming, a perfunctory kids-and-their-dog caper that despite running less than 90 minutes feels stretched to its limits. Full Review
Los Angeles Times
Mar 15, 2018
Rating: 3/5 -- It is cute without seeming desperate, nostalgic without feeling dated, values-based without being preachy, and sweet without being (too) cloying.
Times-Picayune
Mar 13, 2018
Rating: D+ -- Perhaps nostalgia is enough to engage, but "Benji" doesn't seem vital enough to revisit, especially when The Camp Corporation has nothing new to offer. Full Review

Description by OLDIES.com:

The movie that catapulted Benji into international stardom. The #3 movie of the year in its original release. A unique motion picture all told from the heart and soul of a dog.

Benji is the gripping story of a vagabond dog struggling to communicate something he’s seen to humans. Humans who need to know but cannot grasp the concept that a dog could possibly help. A story of frustration and persistence, of love and suspense. And the first time ever that a dog has actually acted on the screen. Expressed emotion. And done it so very well that we, the audience, completely understand everything Benji is thinking and doing, every turn and twist, without a word of dialog being spoken.

All New 35mm Film Restoration & Transfer! Specially-produced bonus features include commentary by creator Joe Camp and son Brandon. First time available in HD and original widescreen aspect ratio.
