"Oh Heavenly Dog" is not, alas, anywhere near as funny as the thoughts it inspires. It's a total miscalculation from beginning to end, inspired by an idiotic decision to increase the average age of the Benji audience by starring him in a movie rated PG.

Technically, "Oh! Heavenly Dog" is quite an achievement: it manages to tell a complete story on the screen from a dog's perspective (Benji is an amazing actor). But the mystery plot itself is no great shakes (the most sinister character from the start turns out to be the guilty party), and the laugh quotient is pretty light, as well.

Jul 11, 1980 · Featured review. 6/10. In a no-man's land between kids films and detective stories. A private detective is killed, then comes back to earth, as a dog, in order to solve his own murder. Yet, with the murder and all, it's not really a children's film despite starring Benji (and having the same director as the Benji movies).
