I love this movie so much
Excellent but underrated film
This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Wow! After watching Beethovens 3rd I though they couldn't possibly make a movie even more stupid. I was wrong! This is honestly the worst movie I have ever seen! Bad actors, way to silly villains, no story and just all around unrealistic and immature! Don't watch it! You're wasting precious time with this horrible movie!
Beethoven's 4th did have one or two funny moments, but is a mediocre third sequel. I really liked the first movie, it was adorable, funny and fun to watch, the second film while a slight step down was entertaining and the third was merely mediocre. This, while not the worst sequel ever, Home Alone 4, NeverEnding Story 3 and Secret Of NIMH 2:Timmy To The Rescue all were bastardisations of their originals, was at best mediocre and just wasn't my cup of tea. Back to Beethoven's 4th, Beethoven himself is funny, as is his counterpart Michaelangelo, and the performances while nothing special were acceptable. And I liked the big house. However, as a sequel it is unmemorable, and falls into the trap of being predictable. The plot is basically a canine rehash of The Prince and the Pauper, and the reason why it doesn't work is because it has been done many times before; Disney with Mickey Mouse, numerous adaptations of the classic Mark Twain tale and the sequel Garfield 2: A Tale of Two Kitties(one of the few sequels out there that was better than the original). The script was poor, and the direction was plodding in places. All in all, don't expect the original, it is a substandard sequel, that could have been so much better. 3/10 for Beethoven and the actors. Bethany Cox
This has got to be the most terrible movie ever created. It's cheap, stupid, and pointless. The only reason they made it was to try and bring in as many dollars as they could with this apparently never-ending, relentless series.In this movie, Beethoven manages to get switched with the dog of a very rich family who happens to look just like him. Hilarity is supposed to ensue here, but it just doesn't. Anyway, it all spirals downward to a lame ending that tries to make up for the rest of the film, but again, it fails. Big dumb dog, big dumb plot, big dumb movie.Any attempt at what was supposed to be humor (and wouldn't really have been funny anyway) is ruined by the unspeakably horrible acting and lame dialogue. It was thoroughly un-enjoyable, from start to finish.When will these people get it into their heads that this series is OVER? It was over from the very beginning. They're just wasting their money. Well come to think of it, they didn't spend any anyway...Terrible. Just terrible.
Like I said before, my cousins and I had a Beethoven night, I was looking forward to the sequels, but after the sadness that was the third Beethoven, I had something even more to look forward too. Somehow, Beethoven is still with the brand new Newtons, I guess George, Alice, and their kids were looking for some kind of good excuse to get rid of Beethoven.Basically, Beth and Richard want to get rid of Beethoven due to poor habits of drooling and destroying, but the kids want to keep him so they secretly take Beethoven to obedience classes. But Richard finds out that Beethoven inspires him to create his best art pieces ever. There is another family who is more wealthy and also have a St. Bernard, Michaelangelo, and kidnappers want him so they can get a ransom, not that much money if you ask me, but Beethoven and Michaelanglo get mixed up when they're both outside and end up with the wrong families.Beethoven's 4th is a pretty sorry excuse for a film, but it was a little better than the third Beethoven movie. My cousins really enjoy these films, so like I said before, these films must be doing something right. For a family film, it wouldn't be too bad, but for me, this was a pretty silly movie.3/10
