This sequel to the hit movie "Beethoven" is not bad, but the first one is a better film. It's still amusing and entertaining enough and cleverly it keeps the same main cast, but the plot is a bit more lame and cheesy. Some characters are annoying too, like that ugly girl Ted's in love with, the two bullies (more irritating than those from the first one) and Taylor Devereaux's drunk friends, for example.
The villains of the story are Regina and Floyd, two cold and cruel people who hate dogs and any kind of animal. They're not likable persons.
George Newton is more amusing here than in the first one. Ted and Ryce are beginning to show signs of teen age, which is not a bad thing, but I rather then the way they are in the first movie. Not that Ryce is a child in the first film, she simply is more teenager here. As for Emily, she's still the very same cute and adorable child, although more mature.
Although Beethoven is the main doggy star, this movie also focus on Missy, the beautiful female St. Bernard-like dog. The puppies, of course, are cute.
While still an okay family movie, some things about it are disturbing, such as Taylor's intentions towards Ryce and that McDonald's scene when the dogs and their owners make a contest to eat hamburgers in 3 minutes, which I consider a bit disgusting.
On the other hand, there's some classic humor too. One good example is whenever George makes that funny suspicious face towards Ryce's boys. Or the scene when Emily asks her father a question about babies and he feels so embarrassed that he doesn't know how to explain well.
The main actors are still good here. I don't like Ryce's haircut here, however. I rather her original haircut.
