The dog that puts people to sleep

In this installment of the apparently endless "Beethoven"-series,Beethoven,the bad-behaving dog gets switched with another,good-behaving dog owned by some rich folks.Laughing already,kids?Now think,what hilarious consequences can this have?What's the first thing you thought about?Yep,it's in this movie.Now think of a second thing.Yep,totally in it.If you can think of a third thing,you're able to write a better screenplay,which isn't a compliment.In the mean time,some bad guys try to do something(they always gotta do something),probably get a job in a better movie,like "Home Alone 7" or "Kazaam",but the dog probably ruined their plans,cause that's just what that dog does,except annoying us,drooling,creating remarkably unfunny chaosses,barking(that's such a dog cliché),eating and sleeping.And look at what Judge Reinhold is willing to do to pay his bills these days.Or better yet,don't.Lassie would turn around in his garden.
