Pretty Good

It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

The acting in this movie is really good.

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.

In the movie Beethoven's 2nd, it is a lot better than Beethoven. The characters were also great, especially Debi Mazar. In the scene where Regina parked her car, got out of it, and walked over to her ex-husband to get Missy from the park, I knew it was a woman and I also hoped that she wouldn't be as creepy as Shelley Winters was in the 1973 movie Cleopatra Jones. Fortunately, Debi Mazar does have a perfect skin color, hairdo, and a body shape than Shelley. But the color of her eyes were really creepy. Some the viewers brought up Cruella De Vil in this and by looking at the color of Regina's eyes, the viewers had a point based on the fact that she did one heck of an imitation of Cruella. She was cruel to Missy and her kids, she was using Missy just because she didn't want her divorce settlement to be worth peanuts without the dog, and based on the fact that she threatened to kill her babies, Missy should have bit Regina's rear, especially when Regina carried her away from her babies. Cruella De Vil is nothing but the devil and was just as slimy in the movie 102 Dalmatians than in 101 Dalmatians. Plus, Regina is just as slimy as Cruella. On top of that, when Regina wore all red, it made look more creepier than ever. But, her red outfit did look good when she fell in the mud along with Floyd. Red is not her color. As far as the character Regina, this is something to remember, "Missy is not an aggressive dog, but if you do anything to her kids, come over here so she can take a bite out of your rear." In the end, Regina got what deserved. I'm glad the judge turned down Regina's claim for the dog because she really didn't deserve Missy in the first place. You know what they say, "Justice always wins."

This 1993 sequel to the St. Bernard hit finds big, fluffy Beethoven now at home with gruff-but-lovable dad Charles Grodin, supermom Bonnie Hunt, and their three kids. The story continues with Beethoven falling for a female St. Bernard and having a litter, unbeknown st to Grodin, while the new dog's owner (Debi Mazar) starts angling for benefits from this union. The larger dog pool certainly adds more cuteness and laughs to this follow-up, and Grodin and Hunt--consummate professionals--don't let sequel-its lower their energy or their wonderfully idiosyncratic way with dialog. Mazar brings her own edge to the proceedings, too, but in the end, the film's accent is still very much on a feel-good experience for everyone.

BEETHOVEN'S 2ND, in my opinion, is even cuter than the first BEETHOVEN. I laughed really hard when George (Charles Grodin) first discovered the puppies in the basement of his house and said, "Oh, no!" Those puppies were absolutely adorable! In my opinion, Regina (Debi Mazar) and Floyd (Chris Penn) were like Cruella and her henchmen, Horace and Jasper! I was so glad when the puppies got them all dirty. I mean, what human being would want to drown five sweet, cute, innocent puppies? When Beethoven caused the deck of Taylor's (Ashley Hamilton) lake house to collapse, I was relieved. This was because he saved Ryce (Nicholle Tom) from being raped. In conclusion, I highly recommend this cute movie to all you dog lovers or Charles Grodin fans who have not seen it.
