Beethoven's 4th

Judge Reinhold and Julia Sweeney return as Richard and Beth Newton, the harried owners of Beethoven, their faithful but troublesome St. Bernard. Here, Mr. and Mrs. Newton are forced to consider sending Beethoven to live on a farm because of the trouble he causes in the house. The Newton children take action when they hear the news, and begin to take Beethoven to clandestine obedience classes. However, when practicing in the park with him, the children accidentally switch Beethoven with another St. Bernard, who happens to be snooty and well behaved, just like its owners, the wealthy Sedgwicks. Soon, Beethoven is wreaking havoc on Sedgwick manor and the Newtons are puzzling over their dog's apparent personality transformation.

    Doubtless Mark Twain would be appalled if he knew how his celebrated tale of switched lookalikes had been reworked into what the publicists insist on calling a “Prince and the Paw-per” scenario. Yet, this fourth adventure featuring the St Bernard with the kid-pleasing ability to emit slobber from one end and noxious gases from the other is an improvement on its predecessor. Clearly someone had told Judge Reinhold to go easy on the pantomimics and let the star do the work, as Beethoven becomes mixed up with a perfectly behaved pedigree pooch named Michelangelo at an obedience class.

    Fantastic

    Beethoven was fantastic. The usual clumsy drooling St Bernhard. What a laugh. My 7 year old loved it.
