Trivia:

Christopher Masterson a small role in the film, however his older brother, Danny Masterson, had a leading role in the film. The two were not playing brothers in the movie, so neither one mentioned to anyone that they were related. When producers went to view the film they noticed the resemblance and re-shot all of Chris's scenes with another actor.

Send this sequel to the pound

Like the first film really deserved a sequel? This unnecessary waste of a film adds a girlfriend and children into the lonely Beethoven's life but that doesn't really do anything to enhance this film's levels of enjoyment (if any). Released around the same time as "Look Who's Talking Now" which was also a rather played out sequel but that wasn't anywhere near as bad as this one.
