	Author	Review
United States	Brian Lowry Variety	"[A] reasonably entertaining sequel, certainly a more pleasing tale than the one that sired it"	POS

United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"This movie has one clear reason for being: The success of the original 'Beethoven,' which grossed something like $70 million (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
