Good movie but grossly overrated

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Look, i'll admit the 1st beethoven was a great piece of film. filled with suspense, a bad guy, and a father who's between a rock and a hard place. now, over 10 years later, we get a piece of crap about a girl who goes to her uncles place for the worst summer ever. right away, she meets a friend of the opposite sex, a hot female cop, and the crazed guy who thinks the world will be flooded again. sounds like that flipper movie with elijah wood and paul hogan, right? So folks, if you happen to catch this on TV, watch it to see what you think, but i'll tell you it's nothing more than a stupid excuse for a summer movie. If you want movie with all this and more, watch flipper, with elijah wood and paul hogan.

When I lose my faith in humanity or the arts, I need but to watch this Fifth and greatest installment to the "St. Bernard Saga." As clever as Chinatown, as dark as Citizen Kane, as imaginative and righteously foreseeing as Dune, this homage to cinematography will cause the most rooted theologian to question the existence of a God-creator. How can man bring forth such a work of utter perfection? In a word, this film is angelic. Again I stand amazed by the range of an actor as unequaled as John Larroquette. His immortal dialog, "Who pooped in my shoe!?!" should have earned him an Academy Award. And what could be said about Kathy Griffin's performance. My sole is reborn as I here here witty combacks and jingers dance from atop her rapier-like tongue.I have been petitioning to have it replace "Bridge over the River Kwai" in the AFA's list of the best 100 films of all time! I only hope that before my existence on this plane comes to pass, I can see but one more playful yarn with this the most beloved creature to grace the planet.

This Movie sucks! It is the worst creation in a movie since never! The acting is horrific, the cast: ugh! and the only good part is the dog. The rest is horrifying! How can a movie be so bad? This is the worst of the worst. NB. I rated this thing 1 because there is noting lower, this thing should be rated -99999999999999999999999999 (Absolute crap) because this movie (thing) is. I mean what on earth is the relevance with Beethoven and ------- (Something which I am NOT going to tell you as it spoils the movie and I hate spoilers) So if you liked Beethoven's other movies you will hate this. If you are a first-timer to Beethoven then after you see this you will think all the others suck. Don't think like this! Every Beethoven before this was to an extent good.

I've seen the movie and i think it was very good in fact i was there at universal studios at the time working as a guard on Beethoven's 5th i guarded on the part when the police officer chases the big truck i was standing at the top of the hill.we were there from 630 am that day till 530 pm i remember it was a good experience for me to be there .the cast was real nice .i would not change that day for anything .i even own the movie till this day i watch it all the time .they had a lot of dogs to play Beethoven in the movie set they even gave me free food and we hung out on the set and i got to talk to the kids in the movie they were real cool. to anyone who reads this i would like to hear from you.thank u.............
