The Beniker Gang

A FAVORITE
This one of three movies ("Benji" being one and "The Adventures of Milo and Otis" being the other) that I did not edit before showing other peoples' children. I love it for its family spirit and its good lessons. It has a plot and children will actually sit through it, two things sometimes difficult to reconcile.

Childhood favorite
This movie is a kids movie, starring a young Andrew McCarthy and an even younger Danny Pintauro (who played Jonathan on "Who's the Boss?"). The story is about a bunch of orphaned children who vow to stick together as a family. The kids move to a small town and start their life together. The character Arthur played by Andrew McCarthy works on a newspaper advice column known as Dear Lola (everyone assumes Lola is an elderly lady). The story revolves around the kids keeping the fact that they do not live with an adult from the small town. This movie is very charming, and has a sweet story. Beniker gang is one of my childhood favorites.

A Delightful, Heartwarming and Fun Family Movie
The Beniker Gang is about a group of orphans who run away from an orphanage with the help of 18-yr old orphan Arthur Beniker (Andrew McCarthy) who earns his living as an advice columnist known as Dear Lola. It's a movie about their struggle and hope to stay together as a real family while hiding and running from the authorities who want to split them up.
