Minahzur Rahman 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.
swedzin I have really enjoyed the first Beethoven film. But, hey, I've also enjoyed this one. When I was a kid, I was very happy when I found out that there's a sequel to the first film. But, of course, when you are a kid, you love everything. But, as you grow up and start to grow rational and critical thinking... Well, you know how that goes. So let's dive in. This film is very cute, cheerful, childish and (but) mediocre and over the top when it comes to new puppies. The plot is very simple. Beethoven finds a female Saint Bernard, and of course, later, to make story even cuter, they've got puppies. But, the evil owner of Missy (female Saint Bernard) has some wicked plans of her own, along with her stupid boyfriend (a classic image of Cruela De Ville and her two silly henchmen). Therefore, Newton family has a new riot in their house. The villains in this film are not that interesting, nor charismatic. And the Newtons, well, George and Alice were just in their own element. George is upset because of the new puppies and Alice is defending them. It was already used in the first film, please give us something new! The weakness of this film is too much mellow and irritating romantic scenes! That was not necessary. It was somehow expected, in a way. But to go way over the top, even with that, it's just makes film longer and less interesting and cringing on occasions. The big focus this time is on the eldest daughter Rice. Emily and middle brother Ted didn't have much of the focus. A little focus was on Ted in the first film. That is really bad in the film when you use characters as tools to move the plot, instead of developing them. Focus on Rice was not that strong, nor developed. And the youngest, Emily, for example, she was basically robbed of her development through this and the first film. It's kind of tragic. Just speed up these romantic scenes, and jump to next scene. But, still it's enjoyable, harmless, fun and funny! Just for the family and kids. Watch it.
sbulone Beethoven's 2nd is so cute, the puppies are adorable and the movie is funny. I think the first 2 are way better than the other sequels. It starts when Beethoven goes to the park and he finds a another Saint Bernard and her name is Missy. They soon have puppies and the kids follow Beethoven to see what he's up to and they find little Beethoven's, there all so sweet and they take them home and don't say nothing about it, for a while and the parents find out and the father says they can keep them until they can find homes for them, well I don't want to tell you the whole story so go out and see it, you will not be disappointed. If your a dog lover you'll love this movie.
Kristine Now, why would they have a sequel? I'm curious. The family has already had an adventure by saving the dog from the first film. You'd think "OK, they live happily ever after". Nope. LITTLE SPOILERSBeethoven falls for another St. Bernard. And they have puppies together, but Beethoven's girlfriend's master wants the puppies. The kids take the puppies without her permission. And she stalks the family to get the puppies. The family goes on a vacation. The children all learn morals of life. The parents fall in love again. And Beethoven cries over his girlfriend. And the woman happens to bump into them again. I mean, how more silly can you get? What are these family's chances of having to save their dog once again? We'll never know until the third one.2/10
