Bonnie Hunt And Charles Grodin Actually Feel Like A Married Couple
Even though Bonnie Hunt and Charles Grodin were two actors with families of their own when filming Beethoven, they actually feel like a married couple throughout the movie, and that adds a whole other level to the movie when watching it as an adult. There are multiple examples of this throughout the movie, but there are two that really drive home this point.
First, there’s the aforementioned “change your pants” scene after Beethoven drools all over George Newton’s pants before a big business meeting. As George is walking up the stairs yelling about how he is going to have to change his jacket, shirt, tie, belt, shoes, and pretty much every other article of clothing because of the ruined pants, Alice stands there, the voice of reason, and tells him to just change his pants. It shows that Alice is the more grounded and calm one in the relationship and it comes off like she’ll been in this position before.
