Beethoven's 3rd Trailers

Everyone's favorite St. Bernard returns in this family film about man's best friend. Richard Newton, his wife Beth and kids Brennan and Sara shove off in their camper for a road trip. Along the way, they gain a new passenger: slobbery Beethoven. The Newtons plan to return Beethoven to his owner -- but not before he turns hero when a pair of thieves enter the picture.

Reviews
Bardlerx Strictly average movie
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Married Baby Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
Walter Sloane Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
juliayc_russ All actors can't act. The dogs are not cute. The bad guys are utterly stupid. The girl that Brennan has a crush on looks 10 years older than him. The "climax" of the movie (if you can call it that)is totally flat. The plot is hollow. The whole thing is just bad. I only watched the movie to the end to see how much worse it could be.I never like "family movies". But there are a couple of them out there that are pretty cute. This one, is just not one of them. Why don't they let the dog do more? Why don't they find some actors can actually deliver the lines convincingly? Why don't they write a plot that makes more sense? Do yourself a favour, don't watch this movie. It's a waste of time. It doesn't even entertain!
Darth_Voorhees The Newton family decides to take a road trip,but they can't go without Beethoven,and a DVD player which has a DVD with some code or some crap on it. The bad guys plan to kill Beethoven and get the DVD. Which turns the movie dumb to dumber. Bad humor,that only a 4 year old would find funny. Really bad! Stay away from at all costs! 0/5
Ryan J. Gilmer Ok, the problems with this movie are numerous, but they must start with the silly storyline.1- Thieves put a virus on a DVD and then sell the DVD to a movie rental store, only to wish to purchase it back again, only to notice that Judge Reinhold bought it (or at least I hope he bought it because otherwise he'd have massive rental fees), yet if he bought it, then the theives would have had to put a factory seal on it, which they didn't.Anyway, trying to figure out the logic of this is beyond the point of the movie. In fact, its illogical that a movie with such a plot would even be green-lit (let a lone a sequel with the same copywrite date???, which doesn't even follow directly from the "surprise ending" of this movie--> if you can even call it a surprise).Anyway, Judge Reinhold is decent and the new Newton family is at least watchable, yet the writing of this movie is the biggest disapointment. The characters are basically just around to fill holes and none of them have any character developement. Brennan's character is just whinny kid, who uses Beethoven to seduce girls (as he lacks charm), Sara is just there to be on the dog's side and to play off her brother, Beth is just a whinny Mom who hates the dog, and the theives are just idiots, the cops are pretty stupid, heck the best part may be the Video Store Clerk. At least Greg Pitts shows some range in an obvious Quentin Tarantino reference to his video store clerk days.Too bad the rest of the film could not have been as clever. Rating: 3 (at least its better than part 4: rating of 2)
dootuss Beethoven's 3rd was the STUPIDEST movie out of all the Beethoven movies! The family was stupid, the plot was really stupid, the bad guys were EXTREMELY stupid, and even that big slobbering beast Beethoven was stupid! Now, they're producing "Beethoven's 4th. What's the point of making another one if the last one was horrible? Stay away from Beethoven's 3rd at all costs!!!!
