For openers, it's not the same dog from the first film. That, however, is the least of what's wrong here. The story takes place in Greece, for reasons that weren't clear to me. You have characters speaking (and often yelling) in Greek, and no subtitles. If we don't need to know what's being said, why set the story in a foreign country? Most of the movie is Benji wandering around the streets. He seems to have forgotten his cute female companion, and is just trying to steal food. The story has no juice. The movie is populated with unfamiliar and unappealing characters. The title also doesn't really fit the film, except on one level. The "love of Benji" is the only reason you could have to sit through this inferior sequel. Unless you enjoy watching and listening to stupid-looking idiots yelling at each other, in Greek.
