The movie revolves around an adorable puppy named Beethoven, who promptly grows up into 185 pounds of romping, drooling, disaster-prone St. Bernard. Nevertheless, the family still rallies behind Beethoven when an evil veterinarian attempts to kidnap him.
Beethoven is no classic, but it's a sunny, energetic children's film with a good notion of what young audiences like.

Overbearing (actually overdogging) family comedy.

A sloppy but lovable pooch of a movie.

Elevated from the doldrums of Digby-esque sentimentality by a surprisingly bouncy script, the film is also redeemed by regular interludes of acerbic dialogue and a brace of fine supporting performances.
Kids will 'ooh' and 'aah' over the shaggy, doe-eyed doggy as it demolishes the family home, but grown-ups should stay on the sofa and enjoy the acerbic asides which distinguish this offering from the glut of cute mongrel movies.
Anti-working mom bias gives a sour feeling to an otherwise innocuous dog movie.
