Beethoven's 2nd
Beethoven's 2nd is a 1993 American family comedy film. Directed by Rod Daniel and written by Len Blum, it is the sequel to the 1992 film Beethoven, second installment in the Beethoven film series and the last to be released theatrically. Charles Grodin, Bonnie Hunt, Nicholle Tom, Christopher Castile and Sarah Rose Karr reprised their roles with Debi Mazar and Chris Penn joining the cast. Initially, no sequel was planned, but it was produced after the unexpected financial success of the previous film.
Plot
In the Newton family home, George, Alice, Ryce, Ted, Emily and Beethoven are all well-adjusted to living together. One day, Beethoven sneaks out and meets a female St. Bernard, Missy, and her owner, Brillo. Brillo's disrespectful future ex-wife, Regina, arrives, takes Missy away, and threatens to keep her unless Brillo agrees to a $50,000 alimony settlement when the divorce is finalized.
