"I watched this third sequal right after seeing the two original movies and it was not what I expected. I love Beethoven 1 & 2 but this sequal was boring and ridiculous. The original cast are gone and the new characters are just boring. The villians in this movie are really stupid. The only interesting thing about this movie was looking at Beethoven. This movie really wasted my time and I suggest saving your time and money. Not funny or interesting at all!!! Anyway I can't wait to see the fourth one though!!!"
"Full House" with a bigger dog

"There is only so much you can do with fifteen minutes of dog footage, and a two hour feature film is not a viable option. Granted it is difficult to make a movie for children when your main premise has been done before - and better - but the direction of this film was disastrous, apparently relying solely on a few moments of animal appeal as salvation. Still, indications are that young children do enjoy the film; young girls will identify with the daughter's plight to be heard, young boys will get a laugh out of the recurring poop and fart jokes, and some of both will cheer Beethoven when he gets to make his brief appearances. Adults, however, will only derive pleasure from the children in the audience."

"I have always loved the other beethoven movies but this is WORST! The 4th one was great, but ugh! this one is [bad]! the director put NOT ONE BIT of taste or brains into this one, he/she just wanted to make "another beethoven movie to get it over with". Don't buy this. save your money."
Terrible

"That's not to say that some very, very young children might not be entertained by this film. As a parent, I have sat through many children's movies that were less than spectacular but at least entertained me in a childish or childlike way. This was not one of them. The best acting in the movie was the dogs. I loved the first Beethoven and Beethoven's 2nd. I've seen and enjoyed the live action versions of 101 and 102 Dalmatians. Loved Lion King and Shrek and all the classic animated Disney movies. But this is nothing like any of them. Judge Rheinhold is annoying in his role. The wife is a whinning pest. The boy is tolerable and the girl a bit better. The villains are moronic. Implausible plots are not the problem. Poorly executed and nonsensical things are and this film was filled with them. Love dogs (which I do) and want a nice dog story? Avoid this and get The Duke instead."
"I take great pleasure in the ridiculous situations which arise in this family and the dog. They make me laugh. I find this dog pleasant and congenial, so I love every one of his films."
