Eine Familie namens Beethoven

"Isn't this entertaining? Hicks and their dogs."

Beethoven meets a female and becomes a father. When a female is kidnapped, Beethoven and the puppies go on a rescue mission. And some people are there too.

Sequels to the 1992 film were not planned, but after "Beethoven" was a box office hit, they quickly put together a few more. This one is quite decent. If you liked the first one, you'll like this one too. Even though it's a class below, it's still fun, and the puppies are adorable. A good choice for viewing with young children. And then there's Danny Masterson, Hyde from "That '70s Show."

5/10.

What's not to like? Captures 90s nostalgia, family values , peer pressure and bullying for kids, a baddie!! And super nice puppies 😍. Give it a chance it's a rewind and a reset on life away from super heroes and depression on modern Life!!!

Watchable first sequel to the surprise hit stars Charles Grodin and Bonnie Hunt as the reprising Newton family, whose slobbering Saint Bernard--Beethoven--gets himself a female doggie to make love with and produce tiny little doggies with. Problem: Two evil dognappers are chasing after the puppies.

Why do they want them? Well, why did Cruella Devil want puppies? Because they're villains.

A very poor movie, but compared to "Beethoven's 3rd, 4th" and "5th" this looks like a masterpiece.

2.5/5 stars -- mediocre but watchable sequel.

Lovely movie, watched it many times as a child now enjoy it with my children. Can't believe it's low score on here.

I don't understand the trashing comments I just read. This film is very, very good. I've seen it at least 5 or 6 times and it was enjoyable the first and last time I saw it. The film making was superb. I actually did some research to see where that cottage was located and see if there were any rentals.

I saw no character flaws in anyone. Each character was precise and very believable. Continuity errors were at a minimum. I also don't understand the rating this movie got. It was NOT THAT BAD! If there was poor acting, or plots, or errors then I could see trashing the movie. But really!

Even the musical score was perfect for each scene. A mixture of real classical and real rock. The music score designer deserves an 'A'.

Best parts: 1) Beethoven's nose in the beginning, followed by his dream sequence. 2) Anything Regina did. She was perfect! 3) Grodin trying to explain where babies come from. 3) The bully sequence at the fair (bite this guy in the weiner!) 4) The hamburger eating contest. 5) The tree stump scene with Penn. 6) Finally, all of the grunting noises Beethoven made. I can actually imitate each one. My kids love it when I do that.

Come on people. The movie was really enjoyable with quality Hollywood direction and design. Please stop knocking it. Give it another try. Or next time, try watching it with a child. You'll see.
