Benji: Off the Leash! Ratings & Reviews
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
Charming movie featuring an adorable dog.
Christianity Today
Mary Lasse
Lacks creativity. The first Benji was original, and each new sequel needs to be a new creation. Instead, we get the same Benji formula.
Variety
Joe Leydon
A mildly pleasant, aggressively retro kidpic that should please undemanding moppets without unduly boring their parents.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
All the Benji productions have had a high corn content, but in this one, even the corn is cheap.
Washington Post
Donna Peremes
The overall unevenness of tone is the movie's biggest flaw, but the slo-mo scenes of doggie derring-do are quite funny, and the message about how to treat both humans and animals evergreen.
Orlando Sentinel
Jay Boyar
Parents ... are more likely to experience the film as a blend of clumsy slapstick and mind-numbing bathos.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
It all plays very much like an extremely drawn-out episode of Lassie updated with references to child, spousal and dog abuse.
Detroit Free Press
John Monaghan
A shaggy-dog story that goes from boring to downright bizarre.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Not one of the great dog movies, but it's a good one, abandoning wall-to-wall cuteness for a drama about a homeless puppy.
Boston Globe
Catherine Foster
Camp's films are independently produced, use little-known actors, and there's a slightly amateurish quality to them. But Benji: Off the Leash! has a raggy charm, like the dogs, and a solid moral ending.
New York Times
Dave Kehr
The fifth film to feature the lovable mutt Benji is an old-fashioned boy and his dog story.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
It seems as if all the effort in the movie went toward making the pooches seem empathetic and emotional, but little thought went into making the human characters multidimensional.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Crust
It's essentially a long-form public service announcement extolling the virtues of animal adoption and decrying the scourge of unfettered dog breeding.
The Hollywood Reporter
Kirk Honeycutt
Benji is back, which is good news for youngsters and pet-loving families. Film lovers perhaps should steer clear, however, as hokey melodrama and sloppy comedy fill the gaps between neat dog tricks.
Dallas Morning News
Philip Wuntch
In direction, story construction, camerawork and performances both human and canine, Benji Off the Leash! is the best of the Benji canon.
Arizona Republic
Randy Cordova
Couldn't they find a dog that at least looked like the original? This bowser is fluffier than Benji ever was, and is mostly dingy white.
Decent Films
Steven D. Greydanus
Thinks a happy ending is not for the boy to get to keep the dog, but for the dog to go to Hollywood the first family film [that ends with] the father getting arrested.
Village Voice
Ed Halter
This unwarranted iteration of the '70s shaggy-dog tale pales in entertainment value compared to its website, which features a rant from the mutt's creator, Joe Camp.
