Summary: Head-Over-Tails Adventures!!!
Review: This is one of the all-time favorites of our household, and boasting an ensemble cast which includes Bonnie Hunt, Charles Grodin, and the "Big Dog," we follow the puppy as he barely escapes from the twin bumblers who try to kidnap him. Beethoven "adopts" the Newton Family (Hunt/Grodin, and the children), and the laughs begin. Charles Grodin tries to assure his family that they are "goldfish people," to no avail, but finally relents.

Dean Jones plays a real nefarious guy in this movie, and it's against type, because you don't really like him as the greedy veterinarian, and when he seeks to make the dog the target of his unspeakable animal experiment, the action really kicks in.

A fine film for the whole family. Highly recommended!!!

Summary: NOT for younger children
Review: This movie is terrible in that it sends very mixed messages to children. A veterinarian "villian", a father hitting a "bad guy" and getting cheers from his family, etc. This, and a very scary and intense near-drowning scene (of a child) made my 4-year-old cry. We ended up turning it off and having a long talk afterwards with our daughter. I'm glad we only rented it but I'm kicking myself for not previewing it first.

Directed by Brian Levant (The Flintstones, Jingle all the Way, Snow Dogs) made a entertaining comedy for the whole family. Watch for Actors:Melora Walters (Boogie Nights, Magnolia), The X-Files:David Duchovny and Everybody Loves Raymond`s Patricia Heaton. Exective Produced by Ivan Reitman (Ghostbusters). A Box Office Hit in the Spring of 1992. A winner. Grade:B+.

Summary: great family film
Review: With the exception of a few more intense scenes in this film (namely the ones with the antics of the villian veteranarian), "Beethoven" is a great choice for the whole family. It's just a very lighthearted and fun film with real characters and a plot that is just as funny as it is heartwarming. It focuses on the Newtons, who are just a normal, happy family with their own set routine until a stray puppy comes upon them and "puts the dents in their home." The father George's (played to perfection by Charles Grodin) feelings for this dog are beyond indifferent, but he finally gives in to his three young children and allows them to keep the puppy, whom they soon dub with the name "Beethoven." As the dog grows into an enormous St. Bernard, the kids are having a ball with him, but George is....well, this is not quite the kind of change in his life that he had hoped for, and what unfolds are some often hilarious moments between George and Beethoven. I remember watching it over and over when I was younger, and I still love it now.

Charles Grodin and Bonnie Hunt are great as the kind and loving parents, and Nicholle Tom, Christopher Castile, and Sarah Rose Karr are equally delightful in their roles as the 3 kids. Overall just a really sweet, funny, and good family film.
