I remember Gene Shalit review of this movie on The Today Show when it first came out. He said, "Benji is a movie for the entire family....provided the entire family is under six years of age."
I had a close friend named Benjie when I was a kid. He lived In Gville on 4th place just west of 13th st. His mom worked at the Humpty Dumpty Restaurant where Krispy Kreme is now. When we threw the football he was Spurrier and I was Casey. He died a few years ago. We had some great times. Went to my first gator game with him..............Happy birthday Benjie
