If you loved Max, try Benji
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Adventure / Drama / Family territory. If that's the register that drew you to Max, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Benji is
An orphaned puppy somehow wanders into the lives of two school kids. When local robbers take the children hostage the pup deploys a scruffy sidekick for a rescue. The film settles for serviceable animal antics.
