WOW

You never know what a little clicking around at IMDB will turn up. For example, did you know that there is a fifth Beethoven (the dog) movie? Fifth! It stars Dave Thomas from Strange Brew, Faith Ford from Murphy Brown, Kathy Griffin from Suddenly Susan and John Laroquette, who needs no introduction. Charles Grodin hasn't been in the last three films. The two before it starred Judge Reinhold and Julia Sweeney. Needless to say, they've all been straight to video. The user comments begin, "Good, but the original is best…" yet it only rates a 1.7 out of 10 stars. But worst of all, fallen teen comedy king John Hughes shares writing credits. Ouch.

Despite all the luminaries mentioned above, I wasn't looking at any one of them when I stumbled across this movie. How did I find it? Easy: Clint Howard is in it.
