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 for young sensitive children (read: kids under five years old). So for all intents and purposes, no, the movie wasn't great.
But I loved it anyway. For all its flaws, it had me at hello and I loved it. So did my daughter, who asked to watch it again as soon as the closing credits began to play.
To those who claim it's not a family movie - they are wrong. This is an EXCELLENT movie for families to watch together and gives the opportunity to parents explain to children why puppy mills are bad and why ASPCA is beneficial for your local community. It's an excellent tool to educate children about those issues.

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 a disturbing reality for some families today, the topic does not belong in a family movie that is likely to be viewed by young children. Beyond the topic of abuse, the rest of the storyline has little/no redeeming value. I am shocked that Reader's Digest gave this movie their Seal of Approval. I do not recommend this movie for children or adults of any age.

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 to 'save the day' (too little too late). Among the horrid scenes are a small puppy being throw across a room; a depressing backyard filled with 'breeder' dogs shoved in cramped, dirty cages; the implication that the psycho dad throws a bag with a runt puppy off a cliff into a river; a sick and dying female dog who has been overused for breeding; psycho dad verbally abusing his son; the implication that the wife is being hit; NO ONE doing or reporting any of the abuses (until the end - when the psycho is finally hauled off to jail). Truly one of the worst, most sickening movies I've ever seen. The issue of animal (and kid/wife) abuse is a topic of social importance that should be addressed, but NOT in a movie advertised as a rolicking, heartwarming kids' movie. This is NOT FOR KIDS. Not for anyone, really.
