Katie K Mar 21 I've loved this movie since I was a kid. I still love it as an adult. Funny, mysterious, romantic, and cute! Benji makes a phone call on a rotary phone! Most people can't do that nowadays! Great soundtrack too! See more Bianca B 01/26/2024 This was a very charming, cute, amusing movie. I liked all the actors in it, especially Benji—who's always adorable and steals most scenes. Please ignore all the snobby film critic reviews if it. It's definitely worth a watch. One of my favorite movies these days. 8/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ See more 01/25/2021 A mystery for kids with tons of very adult content and themes. See more 11/06/2016 Admittedly a bit flat but Chevy's got even better films. See more 01/04/2014 pretty bland movie the only good thing about this film imo is watching the dog perform and act hes pretty good See more 11/30/2013 a total miscalculation from start to finish See more Read all reviews
