The film was okay, but definitely not as good as the first. It's a fun family film, and takes Beethoven on another adventure. I'm not a fan of the plot though, as I feel it could've been a lot better. If you've seen the first film and enjoyed it, then it is worth seeing this one if you ask me, but just don't expect it to be good as the first. Beethoven 2 just about gets away with it I reckon though I still stand by my point that a sequel wasn't needed, and would've been better had it not happened otherwise the original Beethoven film would've held far more weight. I know there were more films after this, but I would write these films off since they were literally a joke - it's not even worth seeing. I don't even consider those latter films as part of the original two. So, yeah, it's an okay sequel and is watchable.
... View MoreBeethoven is back along with the Newton family. George (Charles Grodin) and Alice (Bonnie Hunt) are forced to put up their home for their business. Ryce (Nicholle Tom) has a crush. Beethoven is also in love with a dog named Missy. Regina (Debi Mazar) gets Missy in the divorce. She and Floyd (Chris Penn) are keeping Missy until her ex pays $50k. Missy escapes and 10 weeks later, there's a litter of puppies. Regina recaptures Missy but the Newton kids manage to save the puppies.It's a pretty bland family movie. Charles Grodin gets the worst part of deal. In the end, there are a bunch of puppies and there's a floor to this. No matter how bland, the puppies are still adorable. It's just not quite as much fun. The slapstick is more painful than hilarity. It's a lot of puppy love and it's also a bit hokey.
... View MoreThis isn't a bad sequel but it's unable to measure up to the first "Beethoven," which was an extremely likable film. This is still a "cute" film and one parents and all the kiddies certainly will like.It features a litter of St. Bernard puppies, and who doesn't go "aww" at the sight of little puppies, especially St. Bernard's? The puppies are the main story here, which turns into a "crime" story when "Missy" is dog-napped and the little ones also become endangered.I didn't think this was a "silly" story as there are some good morals and lessons to be learned, but it was a bit "sappy." I get a little annoyed, too, when animals are pictured as smarter than the humans. I'm sorry but, as much as you might love pets and hate some people, that just ain't so.Nonetheless, if you loved the first movie you'll find enough to like in here to enjoy it. If you thought the first film was just okay, you won't like this.
... View MoreSPOILERS Just like the original Beethoven this is an adorable little movie with a name that is based on a German composer. Well, not really based, just the name is used. Anyway, this is a cute movie that is just as good as the original that can melt your heart into a soft, fine mush. What I have odd is that you never see the little Beethoven puppies ever again. They just like disappear into thin air. Maybe it is because the Newton's are never seen again. The actors in this movie portray their original roles, and there are new character that you are bound to hate.Here is the plot of this film. The lovable Saint Bernard named Beethoven falls in love with another Saint Bernard named Missy. They have puppies. Beethoven's owners' children found out about them. Unfortunately Missy's owner, who is a horrible person, wants to use them in divorce bargaining. The Newtons take the puppies. Missy's owner catches up to them. She almost gets the puppies but the Newtons foil her plan for the divorce bargaining. They keep the puppies, which turn into huge Saint Bernards. Overall, this is a regular cue film. It is as just as good as the first, which was also a cute family film. I actually enjoyed the first one just a bit more than this one but if you really get down to the small details, they are pretty much the same. I also found the ending of Beethoven's 2nd a lot like the original. I also like the fact that the sequels' titles are just like the composer Beethoven's symphony. Anyway, this is a cute film that is at least worth a rental, but it is good enough to buy, only if you really enjoyed it.6/10Recommended Films: Beethoven.
