Janet Maslin New York Times Shows few signs of life, and many signs of depressing modernism. Rated: 1/5 May 12, 2008 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times It's a total miscalculation from beginning to end. Rated: 1/4 May 12, 2008 Full Review TV Guide Silly and slow-moving.

Bianca B 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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/28/24 Full Review christopher c. m I first saw this when I was 9 years old. As much as I love Benji, most really drag. Even though this has draggy point, it doesn't drag as much as something like "For The Love of Benji". The mystery isn't the most complex but it's Oh Heavenly Dog not "Evil Under The Sun". But I think the characters are interesting, it's funny and it was during a time when PG actually meant parental guidance. Not perfect but a personal guilty pleasure of mine and given a chance I think you would agree. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A mystery for kids with tons of very adult content and themes. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/21 Full Review william k Mediocre comedy with quite a lack of taste: the dog steals the show. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Admittedly a bit flat but Chevy's got even better films. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member pretty bland movie the only good thing about this film imo is watching the dog perform and act hes pretty good Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
