IMDB rating: 4.20

Plot: Beethoven is back, and this time, he’s bringing the kids! It’s the further adventures of the Newton family and their lovable, lumbering pal, Beethoven. In this second “symphony” of the Beethoven saga, our hero meets Missy, the lady Saint Bernard of his dreams. Unfortunately, they are soon separated by Regina, Missy’s hateful owner who is using her as a bargaining chip in an ugly divorce. But love finds a way, and the result is four adorable, roly-poly puppies. The prospect of four valuable, purebred pups appeals to Regina’s greed, but the Newton kids come to the rescue and bring home the cuddly canines. Now if they can just convince Dad to adopt the huge, messy bundles of joy . . . Mission accomplished! But Missy is still in Regina’s evil clutches. Will Missy, Beethoven and their puppies ever be reunited? And will Regina finally get what she deserves?

I would add ‘Dance of the Knights from Prokofiev’s ballet ‘Romeo and Juliet’ and the ‘Gran Vals’ by Francisco Tarrega (the default Nokia ringtone).

But it’s not the actual MUSIC that has become cliche, but the lazy overuse of so much of it in films, TV programmes and ads, people’s obessing with certain ones (eg ‘Moonlight’ Sonata, Pachelbel’s Canon) and their overplaying on those horrible saccharine Classic fM stations.
