    Fans of shows such as Rolf Harris's Animal Hospital will be in seventh heaven watching this cute family comedy about an adorable St Bernard dog named Beethoven and the effect he has on an American family. Charles Grodin, best known for his performance opposite Robert De Niro in Midnight Run, is the father who ends up with a puppy he doesn't want, which turns into a huge eating and slobbering machine. The Flintstones director Brian Levant keeps the comedy coming fast and furious, and Beethoven is gorgeous enough to soften even the hardest dog-hater's heart. Watch out for The X-Files's David Duchovny as the sleazy yuppie who reckons he's a coffee connoisseur.

    Copying Beethoven

    • 13 Aug 2007

    With few exceptions, films about the great composers have been a rum bunch. Grieg got the egregious Song of Norway. Ken Russell did well by Delius in Song of Summer, okay by Tchaikovsky in The Music Lovers, so-so for Mahler, then perpetrated Lisztomania, with Roger Daltrey as Franz Liszt, Paul Nicholas as Wagner, and Ringo Starr as the Pope. And of course, Tom Hulce played Mozart as a braying adolescent in Amadeus. Stern, deaf old Beethoven has mostly been given a wide berth by filmmakers,... Read more
