Editorial Review:
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
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.

Great movie!
It is rather old, but definitely one of the favourite movies in our family collection!
Rating: - A comedic showcase for America's most huggable hero
1980's Oh! Heavenly Dog, Benji's third movie, is quite a contrast from Benji's first two films. Benji and For the Love of Benji were quintessential family films that told touching stories of canine cunning and heroics entirely from the perspective of the furry little hero; there, Benji's acting prowess could move you to tears in moments of crisis and lift you sky-high when Benji finally managed to safely rescue the humans he loved. Those films had funny moments, but they were basically built upon ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent Movie
I've always loved this movie and I still think it's a great classic.
Rating:  - Omar's finest role
Just kidding. But its a nice movie and I remember it fondly. Its got stuff for everyone: dogs, Jane Seymour, Chevy Chase's great voice-overs, and antics a-plenty. I miss the days in which great actors would make kids movies and have fun. Check it out.
Rating: - Left field ain't a bad place to be
For the third Benji feature film, director Joe Camp decided to head far out into left field. After two films told from a dog's perspective and that consisted mostly of Benji running, it was a good move to do something drastically different, and it produced a film that matches the first one in quality.
The first unusual thing that Camp did was to hire three stars who were big box office attractions in 1980--Chevy Chase, Jane Seymour and Omar Sharif. The previous two films featured unknowns. ... Read More
