Review of Benji (1974) by Mara B — 01 Jan 2011
OK movie, but I can't imagine kids sitting all the way through this -- it's slow and kind of boring in places. It seems like a quarter of the movie is just Benji running somewhere with dated 70s movie music playing in the background.
This would receive a PG rating if it were made today. The criminals shoot guns and they violently kick a dog hard enough to kill it. I give it 3 stars for the acting of the kids that play Cindy and Paul, getting to see an older "Aunt Bee", and I'm a sucker for cute dogs.
