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.

Goofs:

Continuity: When George is rehearsing his speech and walks outside, a close-up is shown of the coffee cup he is holding. The coffee cup shown has a different design than the one in the other shots.

Quotes:

Ted a.k.a. Shorty: Height is just temporary, right? When you wake up in the morning, you're a little taller.

Beethoven's return!

To be honest, I found BEETHOVEN'S 2ND to be better than the first BEETHOVEN movie. This movie was a lot funnier than the first one was. This was a very clever and enjoyable movie. It's the perfect family movie. If you liked BEETHOVEN, you'll love BEETHOVEN 2ND!!!!
