I saw this with my family and it's the most ridiculous stupid movie ever. The story line is impossible to follow. The whole movie is corny... we wasted our $50 on it!
I was extremely disappointed at the theme's of this movie. Domestic violence, animal abuse and a police involvement. You must be kidding. My child was afraid for the dogs, the boy and the mom. He like the slapstick of the dog catchers but in my opinion that was marginal at best. This is not a family movie.
I aways been a Benji fan so I really enjoyed this movie. Some people may take issue with the abuse of the mother and son and the mistreatment of the dogs in the movie. so I would say this would be great for older kids
This "kids" movie is very dark. The trained dogs are a delight to watch; however, the co-dependent mother and the violent stepdad are tragic characters and not the kind you would see in a "G" movie...their story reminds me of the scene in "Natural Born Killers" where Rodney Dangerfield is a child molesting stepdad who abuses his wife all to a laugh track...fairly sinster stuff.
Joe Camp has a great concept as the dogs truly stand out in a cinematic world dominated by CGI...but he needs to bring in a different writer for his next work.
