Benji: Off the Leash features dozens of close-ups of adorable mutts, guaranteed to make any dog-lover's heart melt. Colby (Nick Whitaker), a clever young boy, rescues a scrappy pup from his cruel father (Chris Kendrick), who breeds purebreds with an eye towards profit but not the animals' well-being. The puppy grows into a scruffy but smart dog who, with the aid of another plucky stray, helps Colby and his mother improve their lives, and the life of a lonely elderly neighbor as well. Along for the ride are two bumbling, slapstick dogcatchers and a wisecracking parrot. Benji: Off the Leash bubbles over with sentimentality that some viewers will find heartening and others will find unbearable. But though the story meanders, the movie is never cynical--writer/director Joe Camp sincerely believes that if people were more like dogs, the world would be a better place. --Bret Fetzer

I don't get these people who are complaining that this movie is not for kids. It's almost like they forget that the movie is rated "PG" - not "G." It gets the PG rating for a reason - as stated in the other reviews. This is not the light fluffy Benji from your childhood, it's an updated version that addresses puppy mills. Not exactly a "G" movie topic.
Was the movie great? Well, the script was lacking, the characters were VERY broadly portrayed, and there were a couple scenes not ... Read More

I thought this movie was excellent. The subject of animal abuse is heart wrenching for anyone with a ounce of compassion, but the whole world needs to know what sort of conditions that the parents of that cute little purebred puppy may be enduring. Many puppy mills are far more horrendous than the one seen in this film. [...]
Please note, this movie does have humor and warm fuzzy moments. I loved it! The best Benji movie ever!

I bought two copies of this DVD, assuming that it would be a cute dog movie to give to my four year old son and his friend for Christmas. I couldn't have been more wrong. First of all, the father in the movie is a dog breeder who is not only abusive to his dogs, but his wife and son as well. In one scene in the movie, the father, mother and son are at the police station. While they are there, the police officer pushes back the mother's hair, exposing a bruise on her forehead. While abuse is certainly ... Read More

I was horrified by this movie. My 5-year-old daughter and I watched this together hoping for a normal, uplifting, cute animal movie. The pointless, meandering, nonexistent storyline was the least offensive thing about it. Not much "FUN AND HILARITY" ensues in this disgusting downer. The 'movie' includes a psychopathic father who abuses and neglects his breeding dogs AND his son & wife (why doesn't the wife DO something?!), two idiotic dog catchers, some peripheral characters who show up in the last 10 minutes ...

If you're looking for family picture, something cheerful and joyful that would make you smile and laugh, you should see some other Benji films, but not this one. Sure, the dogs are cute. But I think probably most dogs on this planet are cute, and that alone does not make a good family picture. You may think `Benji: Off the Leash!' is a film about Benji. Yes, it is, but it also includes several things that almost made me stop watching it.
A kind boy named Colby (Nick Whitaker) secretly keeps an abandoned ... Read More
