Beethoven's 4th Audience Reviews

Stometer Save your money for something good and enjoyable
GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
jerrysmith-55705 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!
Kristine 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
Samundsasha When I saw this film on the shelves, I thought to myself, 'Why are they making another one?'. I felt that Beethoven's third had been a bit of a flop with childish jokes and a not very good father character. I am sorry to say that I feel that the fourth one has gone the same way. The plot is alright, being very imaginative and the Who-dunnit feel to it is a nice touch.But the jokes and the actors are missing a certain spark that would make them funny to everybody, not just little children who love farts and people falling over. Everybody in my family (age range from 5-61) laughed at Beethoven. Genuine laughter. The only person laughing at Beethoven's 4th was me, trying to convince everybody that the film wasn't a complete waste of money. I had to give up in the end. My throat hurt from trying to snigger. Still, the added bonus was the free Beethoven film with the 4th one. The children especially could have done a better job. Its all about being a 'babe magnet' and being pushed on roller blades. And the girls have these annoying high pitched American accents that pierce your brain and make you grind your teeth. All of the stunts have been done before in other films to much better effect. And, a last point, why do they refer to him saving skiers in the Alps? When did Beethoven ever do that? Before he was kidnapped from a pet shop or en-route to the new family? In conclusion, the film is a good film for children and dog lovers who adore dog films no matter the plot. But, for comedy seekers, this film is a big disappointment.2/10
abxy6000 If Ludwig Van Beethoven had lived to see such artistic genius be created with a character with his name, he would have wept of joy. For this film is so sweet that i'm gonna crap myself. an incredible performance by digby the talking dog as beethoven is just one of the many highlights of this event. Beethoven seems to start acting strange, he's not up to his usual schemes, and judge reinhold (in an incredible performance as the father) wonders what is wrong. They soon find out that beethoven has been switched by a better fartknocking dog. The sorrow that the family goes through is shocking and unbelievably real. I also think Rob Shneider would be excellently cast as the father, or any role. Also the film did not have as many fart jokes as i would have hoped for. We all know that what holds together films is the fart jokes, and i believe that Rob Schneider could have provided enough fart jokes for our satisfaction. But despite the lack of Rob Schneider and fart jokes, this movie was a great ride with an ending so powerful that it changed me as a human being.
