In this installment, which is just as bland, but charming as the first, Beethoven meets a female Saint Bernard and the two have puppies. Now, it delves into 101 DALMATIONS territory. Two purebreds have purebred puppies, wicked, evil woman wants to do something naughty to the puppies. Instead of Cruella, we have Regina, who might as well be Cruella without the cigarette holder. (Just Avian bottled water. Guess that's the PC substitute.) Her boy friend is a total moron. How did he get mixed up with somebody like her anyway? There is a bit of a dark side to this movie. Beethoven saves Rice from getting sexually assaulted by literally tearing this guy's house down. Good on you, boy! Also what Regina and her boy friend almost do to those dogs is a bit disturbing, but, as usual, Beethoven saves the day. Once again, you don't really get to know the humans enough to really care about them and apparently, in these movies, the humans are morons who can't take care of their own, so a dog has to do it for them. What's up with that?
