Beethoven Ratings & Reviews
Boston Globe
Betsy Sherman
Underlying this formulaic plot is a strange tone of desperateness in the movie's smiley-faced depiction of a "perfect" suburban nuclear family... For a family that's not missing any meals, they do more whimpering than any of the animals in the movie.
Tampa Bay Times
Hal Lipper
If you have any desire to see Charles Grodin upstaged by a slobbering St. Bernard in the formulaic comedy Beethoven, then I suggest you rent Turner and Hooch and see Tom Hanks being slimed by his large canine partner instead.
Hartford Courant
Malcolm Johnson
Every moment fits neatly together in an almost machined way. But the time lopes by and a few of the sequences prove oddly delightful.
Antagony & Ecstasy
Tim Brayton
A family comedy about a wacky & destructive St. Bernard that is totally without any merit whatsoever.
Common Sense Media
M. Faust
A sloppy but lovable pooch of a movie.
TV Guide
A safely banal concoction in the tradition of the bland live-action Disney features cranked out during the Magic Kingdom's dispirited years after Walt's death.
Variety
Variety Staff
Rallies at the end to prevent chaperoning adults from feeling their time was completely wasted.
Juicy Cerebellum
Alex Sandell
I love dogs, but still had trouble getting through this.
Kansas City Kansan
Steve Crum
Overbearing (actually overdogging) family comedy.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
Anti-working mom bias gives a sour feeling to an otherwise innocuous dog movie.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
Beethoven is no classic, but it's a sunny, energetic children's film with a good notion of what young audiences like.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
If I were under the age of 14 and had not already seen all of those earlier animal movies, I might well have enjoyed Beethoven more. It's the kind of clever, innocuous family entertainment that's always in short supply.
Austin Chronicle
Nick Barbaro
Unless you are taking a child, there is absolutely no reason you should put yourself through this almost perfectly mindless exercise in canine celebration (exception: if your favorite comic strip is Marmaduke, this may be the movie for you).
Washington Post
Rita Kempley
A waggish tale of canine chicanery, an uproarious if impawsible symphony of drool, doggy fidelity and chewed shoes.
