Beethoven's 2nd | 1994 | PG | - 1.1.0

This time Beethoven meets a female St. Bernard, and they have puppies, which are then nabbed and sold for profit. That's when the mayhem begins. With Charles Grodin.

SEX/NUDITY 2 - One instance where a teenage boy tries to get a girl into bed. But nothing happens. Flirting. A female dog has puppies.

VIOLENCE/GORE 1 - A few chases between Beethoven's family, the dogs and villains, and one instance when Beethoven pulls a home off its foundation and drops it -- and the people in it -- into a lake. A confrontation between good guys and bad guys. A couple fall of a precipice and into a river. Beethoven threatens some threatening pre-teens.

LANGUAGE 1 - A few mild insults.

DISCUSSION TOPICS - Kidnapping, date rape, divorce.

MESSAGE - Love will always prevail -- there's someone out there for everyone. Dogs are the greatest.

CAVEATS

Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.

We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.

Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
