Duration/Tempo: (3.5/5) At 1 hour and 25 minutes, it's a very short movie that felt like an average length movie. Too many drawn out scenes. Cast & Crew: (3/5) Human cast was better than in the original, but still meh. Dogs were good. Summary: (3/5) This film comes down to old-school dog tricks. No CGI here. While this is fun to watch, there's just not enough here for an 85 minute movie. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member its pretty good benji movie Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member I play my VHS copy of this movie at band practice. It's hard to see because it is so cloudy from the fog machine and all the lasers, but it's nice to see dogs while jamming out. Although, some times they shoot at the dog, which is so crazy, but I think they are overseas so I guess it makes sense. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
