English Summary:

Beethoven is a 1992 American family comedy film, directed by Brian Levant and starring Charles Grodin and Bonnie Hunt as George and Alice Newton, respectively. It is the first installment of the Beethoven film series.

A group of puppies are stolen from a pet store by two thieves. A St. Bernard puppy escapes and sneaks into the Newton family's home. The workaholic father, George Newton, doesn't want the responsibility of owning a dog, but his wife, Alice, and their children, Ryce, Ted, and Emily, convince him. They give him the name “Beethoven” when Emily plays a portion of Ludwig van Beethoven's Fifth Symphony on the piano and the dog barks along to it.

Beethoven grows into a full grown, adult dog and helps the children overcome their problems: he helps Ryce talk to her crush, scares off bullies for Ted, and saves Emily's life when she falls into an irresponsible babysitter's swimming pool. George, jealous of the affection Beethoven receives, feels neglected as his family fawns over him. The dog's antics ruin a barbecue he is hosting for Brad and Brie; unpleasant venture capitalists looking to invest and swindle him out of his car freshener firm.

Hungarian Summary:

A Newton család nyugodt, általánosnak mondható mindaddig, amíg akis bernáthegyi kutya otthonra nem lel házukban. Természetesen csak addig maradhat, amíg az igazi gazdáját meg nem találják. De Beethoven tudja, hogy ez az ő igazi családja. Mindeközben a gonosz szívű állatorvos fondorlatosan el akarja venni a családtól kedvencét, hogy eladhassa kísérleti célokra. Úgy tesz, mintha Beethoven megharapná, s elrendeli elaltatását.
