Sex & Nudity
-
- In order to scare a bully away, Beethoven's owner commands him to "bite this guy in the wiener"
- Two teenage girls in bikinis and a teenage boy in swim trunks play on a swim dock. He playfully picks the girls up and tosses them in the water, and waggles his swim-suited bottom at them.
- A teen boy locks a teen girl into a cabin bedroom, intending to sleep with her. Plot is quickly foiled in humorous fashion, but a serious topic.
- Learning her daughter is secretly skipping school, a mom asks her if she's skipping school to spend time with boys. Daughter honestly answers that she's not pregnant, and comes clean about the real reason.
- There is romantic kissing throughout the movie, with both married couples and teenagers.
- Two St. Bernard dogs mate and have puppies in the movie (obviously not shown or even implied).
- A young girl (about 8 years old) asks her father where babies come from. His attempts to explain it are drawn-out and quite humorous.
- At a Drive-in Movie, two teenagers who kiss passionately.
Violence & Gore
-
- A man pokes another man in the stomach with a stick.
- A puppy pees on a man's face (played for laughs).
- The "villains" in the movie fall into a pool of mud, then fall into a raging river. They are not hurt, though.
- One "villain" is involved in an accident where he falls down a mountain and violently lands head first into a tree stump. Meant to be humorous, but this is a blatant reference to decapitation.
- Near the end of the film, the two "villains" are scene being washed away in the rapids of a river. While not much is on screen, it seems to infer that the two characters will either plummet to their deaths or crash into the rocks, being inflicted with near fatal brain damage. However, this scene is quite humorous.
Profanity
-
- 1 use of hell and crap
- "Oh God" is used a few times, along with the word "crap". Pretty mild language.
- When an older teenage boy starts picking on Ted, he orders Beethoven to "bite this guy in the wiener".
- One villain tells the family to "stuff it".
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- Teenagers are drinking alcohol at a house party. Some of the kids are obviously very drunk. A few of them even start dumping beer on the dog, Beethoven. They are laughing and behaving erratically.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- There is a contest at a fair where some men race to see who can eat more burgers at once. The man who wins ends up vomiting afterward. The vomit itself is not seen, but his cheeks puff up, and he is seen rushing into a Port-o-Potty and retching.
Spoilers
Sex & Nudity
- When a teenage girl goes to the house of a boy she has a crush on, he takes her into his room, locks the door and tells her "this will be an experience you'll never forget!" He is stopped before he can do anything and it is never explicitly stated what he would've done but some young children may want to know what the scene meant.
Violence & Gore
- A teenage boy locks a girl into a bedroom and refuses to let her out, promising a "great new experience." (His intended assault is interrupted immediately)
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- When provoked, Beethoven jerks at the part of a lake house where he has been chained up, and part of the house literally falls down. Several teenagers fall into the lake as a result. It is not really scary, though, and nobody is hurt - there's just a lot of yelling. In fact, audiences may be more inclined to laugh at how fake it looks when the house falls.
