Nicholas T. @RT31153330 Dec 13, 2025 It may rip off 101 Dalmatians in the first half but it’s really nice to see Beethoven get himself a girlfriend and a litter of puppies. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Jun 6, 2025 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom. See more Stephen C @bob25009 May 27, 2025 Why bother? This sucks!!!!!!!!!!! The USA grossed over $52,600,000.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more Tralee V @RT33550939 Nov 21, 2024 Not too bad to watch but I kinda sad that this is the last time we get to see the main Newton family. See more Jun 10, 2022 It's a good kids movie. It kept me entertained as a child See more Apr 13, 2022 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. See more Read all reviews
