"Benji" contains a lot of canine cuteness, and while it's not unbearable, it's overkill. Luckily though, the kids here are less aggressive and feel real
.
A complete survival thriller that makes young humans as resilient as its canines, it's a Home Alone-style farce
.
The film is lovely without being hopeless, nostalgic without feeling outdated. The entire story of the film is made up of fairly familiar stuff, and it's all very impressive
