Benji Off the Leash Reviews
"A breath of fresh air. Camp is a master storyteller."
Dave Kehr - New York Times FULL REVIEW
"An incredible story! Exciting, heartwarming and entertaining."
Ted Baehr, MovieGuide
"Sure-fire family entertainment... from the villainy of a nasty father who skirts the law while breeding dogs in his back yard...to the bumbling comedy of two sheriff's deputies who are on his trail, but it's the pooches who steal the show, including the latest actor to earn the name Benji. I'm giving this film my HOT vote."
Leonard Maltin - Hot Ticket
"This Benji's a beaut, for all ages. The movie
and the mutt are that good."
Phillip Wuntch - Dallas Morning News FULL REVIEW
"A good one. And it sends a valuable message."
Roger Ebert - Chicago Sun Times FULL REVIEW
"If you want to raise humane, ethical kids,
take them to see this movie."
Julia Szabo, Syndicated Columnist
"I give this movie my highest possible endorsement and greatest sense of urgency: A must see on opening weekend!"
Marty Becker - Knight Ridder Newspapers FULL REVIEW
“Four PAWS UP!
If you don’t see this movie, you have no right to complain ever again that good wholesome movies aren’t being made.”
Steve Dale - Syndicated Columnist FULL REVIEW
"Benji's return is something of a triumph; the best aspects of the original; impeccably trained animals and the first kiddie flick in years that earns its laughs without body functions."
Scott Holleran - Box Office Mojo FULL REVIEW
"Children, as well as parents, will welcome Benji's return. The new top dog in Hollywood makes a charismatic debut. The canine stars not only demonstrate acting range,
but irresitible charm."
Michael Medved - Salem Radio Network
"In Praise of Benji!"
Andy Klein - L.A. City Beat FULL REVIEW
"This reviewer recalls sitting in the theater as a youngster, thrilling to the adventures of a screen hero who exhibited the best of those traits that have earned a noble reputation for canine companions the world over: bravery, tenderness, intelligence, loyalty, and persistence. I never would have thought writer-director-producer Joe Camp could bring forth a brand new Benji with an up-to-date storyline that would melt my jaded heart all over again in exactly the same way. And there's an abundance of teachable moments. What better tool is there to put into the hands of Christian parents than an engaging story about a lovable hero both they and their young children can relate to, whose kindness and character inspire instant admiration?"
Jenni Parker - Agape Press
"One of the best family films of the decade!"
Christopher Largen - Amazon.com FULL REVIEW
“Hillarious! It captures the joy of a special dog and the simpleness of childhood. Camp has made another endearing film t hat a whole new generation of families can enjoy.”
Anita Modak-Truran - Gannett Newspapers
"A funny, exciting adventure. The canine cast is irresistible. I swear, the main two dogs in this film are acting!"
Phil Boatwright, The Movie Reporter
"A fun-filled family film where you don't have to worry about kids picking up a new way to show off their bodily function."
Mike Szymanski – Zap2it.com
"A real treat."
Susana Gora, Premiere Magazine
