The Newtons, helmed by George (Charles Grodin) and Alice (Bonnie Hunt), are in for another St. Bernard adventure when their dog, Beethoven, falls in love with fellow canine Missy and makes a family of his own. But instead of being one big happy family, Missy's owner, Regina (Debi Mazar), wants to sell off the puppies to make a huge profit. Springing into action, the Newton kids rescue the little dogs before Regina can make her deal -- but she is determined to get them back.

This movie has one clear reason for being: The success of the original "Beethoven," which grossed something like $70 million. Go to Full Review

Finn S Feb 17, 2017 Much like the original, it doesn't hold up as when as it did when I was a kid, but it still does all right. In some ways it might be better than the original. It has a few more laughs. Takes what worked in the first movie and brings it to the next level. At the same time it feels like it's missing something the original had. It's a problem that seemed to affect Home Alone 2 and Hangover 2 in much the same way. See more
Ron M Feb 16, 2017 On ne devrait jamais revoir les films de son enfance. Beethoven 2 en fait partie et c'est assez terrible de voir à quel point le film de Rod Daniel est absurdement insignifiant. Il n'y a rien de bien insupportable dans cette copie éhontée des 101 Dalmatiens, mais hormis un concours de burgers plutôt drôle et un duo de méchants joués par Debi Mazar et Chris Penn (et un petit cameo de Kevin Dunn), il n'y a rien à se mettre sous la dent. De la musique aux autres interprétations, en passant par un script qui tire en longueur même à 1h24, mis en image par un type totalement désintéressé, Beethoven 2 est heureusement le dernier sorti en salles de la saga.

Abraham G Feb 2, 2017 It's good movie to watch
Luke P Jan 15, 2017 Beethoven has done it again!
Harry S Feb 13, 2010 Another fun family affair. This time it is a larger family with Beethoven's puppies. It's still entertaining with plenty of charm. (First viewing - Childhood) See more
