I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Just perfect...

Absolutely Fantastic

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

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.

Beethoven 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.

It's got Charles Grodin and Bonnie Hunt! How could that possibly be bad?? They are always a pleasure to watch. Beethoven's 2nd is worth watching just for them. Beyond that, it's not high art and child actors and not entirely engaging, but it's cute and fun and and quite watchable -- and who could like something with five adorable St. Bernard puppies? Sure, it occasionally drags, but you can't expect Grodin and Hunt to be in every scene. And as a bonus we get Debi Mazur doing a great turn as a comic villain!Lighten up and enjoy a cute film with a pair of exceptional comic actors.

Beethoven's 2nd is, without a doubt, the most fun movie I've ever seen. This second generation of St Bernard pups renews my faith that animals can be treated very well in the movies. The dogs are the most fun part of this movie. Missy and Beethoven getting into some trouble and having their pups while Missy's surrogate owner is completely unaware. It's a really fun movie for adults and children that are over 8 years of age. There's quite a bit of inappropriate content in this movie such as Chris Penn's character dangling one of Missy's puppies over the cliff. Other than that it was a fun movie.
