Beethoven's Big Break

Beethoven's Big Break (2008) is a family comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Eddie scrapes by as a single dad and animal trainer until a giant, slobbering St. Bernard wanders into his son Billy's life.

One lucky movie audition turns the shaggy dog into an overnight star — and a target. A trio of small-time crooks hatches a plan to snatch the famous pooch and cash in on a ransom, just as Eddie is finally warming to him. Jonathan Silverman leads the cast alongside a young Moisés Arias, Rhea Perlman and Stephen Tobolowsky.

This is the fifth outing for the clumsy St. Bernard, a direct-to-video entry from director Mike Elliott. No edge, no scares — the kind of harmless afternoon picture that buys parents ninety quiet minutes with younger kids. Stream Beethoven's Big Break online on iFILM.
