Beethoven's 3rd (2000)

Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

An unexpected masterpiece

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

I was babysitting a couple nights ago and my cousins are in love with the Beethoven movies, so we watched all of them and had a movie night. I remember loving the first and the second Beethoven when I was a kid, so in some ways I was interested in seeing where the story took off for the Newtons. But this turned into your typical family film that wasn't really original or believable. The "villains" seemed to be homosexual morons who seemed out of place of wanting a disc of valuable information and the whole family was predictable stereotypes.Beethoven for no reason explained has been shipped to George Newton's brother, Richard who is taking his family to a reunion where he'll meet Geroge and Alice and give them Beethoven. I guess Richard rents a movie that these criminals thought would never be rented, in the case there is a DVD of secret information that the criminals must have back. They chase the family around with Beethoven who will make sure that these guys will not hurt the family, although with these certain villains, I'm pretty sure that's not a strong possibility.It was really bad acting and not even a good enough movie for a family afternoon. I'm not sure why my cousins liked the movies, because I raised them better than that with movie knowledge, but oh well, I guess these movies must have something special in them. So, I guess I will give it an extra point.2/10

Beethoven's (he's a St. Bernard) family hits the road in the family RV - and Beethoven gets to go, too. The father wants to take a replica of an RV trip that he and his family took many years before. However, the family is being stalked by a pair of bad guys. Unknown to the family, the kids are in possession of a CD containing a secret code and the baddies try several times (with hilarious results) to steal it. Usually they find themselves facing Beethoven. Judge Reinhold is the father (seems a bit young, but pulls it off), with Julia Sweeney as his wife. There are some pretty funny spots in this. I liked it.

Of all of the Beethoven movies, Beethoven's 3rd is the funniest! The second was pretty good, but this one has some hilarious moments. I don't care what anyone here says, I liked it. The 2 "bad guys" were hilarious. "I felt a great disturbance in the force, as if 7 gnomes cried out at once, and were silenced." The lanky dude is esoteric like this, either you get that style of humour or you don't. I do, so I think it's funny. The other guy is a speed junkie who drinks caffeinated beverages by the scads and has some pretty funny physical comedy scenes. Judge Reinhold was a great dad in this movie, and has some funny lines. The Shakiest Gun in the West, "That was one of the highlights of the trip", for pete's sake! Funny stuff.

I just have finished this movie today and I thought the film was great ! Everybody was great but the bad guys were terrible ! Might be somebody was right !!! The two bad guys were just look like dumbies. But this was the first time I felt it's a great happiness family travel Ever ! I watched this film because of Joe Pichler.Now I can say that he's so great !!!!!! Thank you for giving me a funny film !!!!
