The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

This is truly one of the worst movies I have ever watched. I can only think of one thats even worse: Beethoven 4th! Bad actors, bad script, everything about this movie is stupid. Too immature for my kids. They had trouble watching it!

This movie is probably the stupidest movie I've ever watched. All the jokes are dumb and played out, like the generic villains going through idiotic " hi-jinx" like getting sewage and dog crap dumped on them. The acting is corny, and the story is just abysmal, with a side plot including the 10-year old brother having a crush on a girl that looks years older than him. Basically the plot consists of: Beethoven's family in the first 2 movies dumps him with their cousins, and from there on out is " Hi-jinx!" In the end, an unknown family member informs the cousins that the family increased their vacation from a week to a year. ( Geez, movie, no need to make that much sense.) Overall, it's moronic and torturous to watch, and I recommend getting yourself a copy to use as fuel for your next bonfire.

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!

To say this is not a patch on the first two Beethovens is a simplistic understatement. Whoever put up the money to make this ghastly waste of space must have been barking mad. The "best" of the puerile toilet gags that litter the film involve exploding sewage outlets (all over the bad guys, naturally); the eponymous pooch farting after an overdose of eggs; and the dog licking a gigantic ball of earwax. The plot is daft and the baddies so stupid you almost feel sorry for them. The only ray of light (for us girls, anyway) is a drop-dead gorgeous cop right near the end of the film, providing the excuse for the inevitable car chase. But even he doesn't make it worth wasting time or money on this one.
