Product Description

This heavenly and hilarious detective story stars Chevy Chase and Benji, America's favorite canine star. After being killed in the line of duty, a private investigator (Chase) arrives in Heaven, only to be told he's going back to Earth to solve his own murder and the murder case he was working on when he was killed. He's elated- until he realizes he's being sent back in the body of a small, scruffy dog (Benji)! Filled with laughs and dog stunts galore, this tail wagging comedy also stars Jane Seymour and Omar Sharif.

Chevy Chase plays a private eye who is murdered and returns to life as a dog (Benji). The film--a plot reversal of a 1951 Dick Powell comedy called You Never Can Tell--has a dash of Chase- style comedy and a big serving of Benji-flavored cuteness, making for a perfectly fine family movie with a little something for everyone. Jane Seymour is an attractive love interest, Omar Sharif (amazingly) is on board, and former Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In star Alan Sues has a small part. --Tom Keogh

Customer Reviews

Oh! Heavenly Dog
I highly recommend this video for people of all ages. I first recall seeing it when I was a young girl and the love for it is as strong now as it was then. It has a unique storyline littered with mystery, suspense, and humor, as well as a star cast with Omar Sharif, Chevy Chase, Jane Seymour, and let's not forget Benji. This is a movie the whole family will love!

Great movie
I was remembering this movie a couple of months ago and how much I liked it when it came out so I ordered it. Buyers should beware that even though Benji is one of the main stars, this movie has a little bit of bad language in it, so you might not want children under 11 or 12 to see it. The words are not too terrible, but not suitable for small ears either. Otherwise, it's a great movie!

A Dumb Movie That I Like
They call flicks like this "guilty pleasures" and this certainly is. Chevy Chase is a private eye who is killed while investigating a crime and returns as a dog, played by Benji in his third feature film. Unlike the first two Benji movies, this isn't a kiddie film; it contains sexual references as well as dumb jokes. But Benji is cute and occasionally Chase is, too. Jane Seymour as always is gorgeous and Alan Sues from LAUGH-IN is just "too...too" as Chase's flamingly gay friend. If you want a good Chevy Chase film, buy FOUL PLAY.
