Blu-ray Review: Beethoven's Treasure Tail




Get ready to howl with laughter in this all-new family comedy starring America’s favorite St. Bernard, the one and only Beethoven! After a doggone disaster of a movie shoot, the big-hearted pooch and his trainer, Eddie (Jonathan Silverman, Beethoven’s Big Break), are heading home when they get stranded in a small coastal village. When Beethoven befriends a local boy (Bretton Manley, Ted), he helps him find a pirate map to lost treasure and together they em-bark on an adventure that brings the whole town together. Co-starring Morgan Fairchild (Flamingo Road), Kristy Swanson (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), and Jeffrey Combs (Re-Animator), it’s a heartwarming “tail” about finding fun wherever your nose leads you.
My Thoughts
I have always enjoyed the Beethoven films and this one is no different. Beethoven is on his way home from a movie shoot with his trainer when things don't go quite according to plan. They wind up getting stranded on an island where Beethoven befriends one of the local kids. When they find a treasure map they set off on an adventure to find the buried treasure. They run into some real pirates and lots of funny mishaps.
In addition to being an entertaining film, there are still some solid messages. The movie teaches you to stick to your guns and also shows kids how hurtful bullying can be. Though it's definitely predictable and a little on the cheesy side, this is still a cute movie that younger kids will enjoy. You just can't help but adore a lovable St. Bernard like Beethoven.
