Is it any good?
Like the previous film, Beethoven's 2nd is thinly plotted, essentially only an excuse to put these dogs onscreen. It was in poor taste to include a scene in which daughter Ryce is nearly raped by a drunken boy on whom she has a crush in a movie otherwise suitable for young children.
