Amazon.com What begins as a pleasure trip for Benji and his adopted human family soon turns into a tale of mystery, suspense, and international intrigue in this 1977 sequel to Joe Camp's hit movie, Benji. Without subtitles to decipher the mostly Greek dialogue, kids and grown-ups alike view the action from the limited perspective of this sweet and talented mutt. Here's what Benji knows: 1) Ever since a stranger pressed a tiny metal plate against his paw, a handful of seedy-looking characters (and the occasional Doberman) keep trying to capture him; 2) He's hungry; 3) He misses Mary (the chatty housekeeper played by Patsy Garrett), the kids (whom he rescued from kidnappers in the original), and his lady love, Tiffany (noticeably droopy from an unmentionable "condition"). Not a great situation when stranded a few thousand miles from home. The action chugs along thanks to numerous chase scenes, a smattering of gunplay, and a heroic ending; but the overall effect falls short of the original. (Ages 4 to 9) --Liane Thomas Los Angeles Times "Benji is able to sulk, skulk, do double-takes, worry, and is so wordlessly articulate that he should do a film without any two-footed creatures at all." --This text refers to the VHS Tape edition. Family Weekly “There aren’t enough superlatives to describe this sensational film! Benji’s acting performance is even better than his first film.” --This text refers to the VHS Tape edition. Christian Science Monitor "The amazing thing is that Benji's scruffy face seems capable of expressing any emotion you can think of." --This text refers to the VHS Tape edition. Variety "Benji isn't a dog performing, but a dog acting, capturing rare feeling and almost human response." --This text refers to the VHS Tape edition. Description For the Love of Benji continues the moviegoers love affair with America's favorite dog. Follow Benji's adventures through his own eyes, as he eludes spies and secret agents in this, his second hit movie.
