Great movie don't listen to all the wet blankets

I grew up with Benji my kids love them. We love this.i t was so much like the original. The 1997 was awful and my kids laughed the whole movie this had feelings good actors and the best dog. Great comeback for Benji and it is a kids movie completely.it deals with real life issues not just after school special issues
