Beethoven
The movie revolves around an adorable puppy named Beethoven, who promptly grows up into 185 pounds of romping, drooling, disaster-prone St. Bernard. Nevertheless, the family still rallies behind Beethoven when an evil veterinarian attempts to kidnap him.

A safely banal concoction in the tradition of the bland live-action Disney features cranked out during the Magic Kingdom's dispirited years after Walt's death.

I love dogs, but still had trouble getting through this.

It's the kind of clever, innocuous family entertainment that's always in short supply.

Anti-working mom bias gives a sour feeling to an otherwise innocuous dog movie.

A sloppy but lovable pooch of a movie.
October 25, 2004
Overbearing (actually overdogging) family comedy.

Elevated from the doldrums of Digby-esque sentimentality by a surprisingly bouncy script, the film is also redeemed by regular interludes of acerbic dialogue and a brace of fine supporting performances.

Kids will 'ooh' and 'aah' over the shaggy, doe-eyed doggy as it demolishes the family home, but grown-ups should stay on the sofa and enjoy the acerbic asides which distinguish this offering from the glut of cute mongrel movies.

A family comedy about a wacky & destructive St. Bernard that is totally without any merit whatsoever.

Beethoven is no classic, but it's a sunny, energetic children's film with a good notion of what young audiences like.

Rallies at the end to prevent chaperoning adults from feeling their time was completely wasted.
January 01, 2000
A waggish tale of canine chicanery, an uproarious if impawsible symphony of drool, doggy fidelity and chewed shoes.
