I somehow feel sorry for George in these horrible films. I knew there's nothing like being eaten out of house and home to cause somebody like him to remain very angry, completely vengeful, and utterly selfish. I just knew it.

A decent movie, liked the build up love relationship between the two dogs there's not a lot of good animal romance flick these days, but this one takes the cake! I also liked the villains casted in one!

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

Less original and less charming than the first film, Beethoven 2nd is mostly known for its Oscar-nominated song.
