SunnyHello Nice effects though.

Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict

Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

reachkw From Bambi's mother getting killed by hunters, to using fur as a fashion statement and dognapping dalmatian puppies in order to make a coat, to the 'pound' scene in Lady and the Tramp, to the 'circle of life' in The Lion King, to the more recently depicted disabled marine animals in Finding Dory...adults should give credit where it's due. After all, chances are, parents aren't going to introduce such dreadful topics to their children.True: Depending on the age of the viewer, much of the more meaningful, macabre content of this movie could go unnoticed. But for those old enough to grasp the depravity of dog fighting, the greed behind stealing Chloe's diamond collar and then - grabbing HER a second time for ransom, and the plight of homeless dogs, I think Disney is a master at exposing such atrocities while avoiding graphic details that would understandably frighten its youngest audience.Being involved with animal rescue for 30 years, I also appreciated their comment at the end, something like: While everyone at Disney and our producers would like every homeless dog to have a loving home, please do your research before making a commitment.The only reason I gave it 9 stars (rather than 10) was because they portrayed El Diablo - a doberman pinscher - as being mean-spirited and vicious, instead of dutiful and repentant.For one thing: this breed has already been subjected to criticism, condemnation, exploitation and abuse back in the seventies.For another: I am against the one dimensional characterization of ANY specific breed - something that could easily influence the general public/less knowledgeable individual. Absolutely any breed/type of dog can be made to be aggressive -- not just the falsely accused "bully breeds."

convincing60 Beverly hills chihuahua is such a terrible and crappy movie, its so effing stupid and the plots and scenes don't make much sense.This has got to be one of the worst films of 2008..it is so stupid and doesn't make no sense. Any movies with talking animals, is highly regarded as a crap-tastic movie. This just goes too far The retarded writers who wrote this bullsh** should be ashamed of themselves...this is just awful.It seemed as if a monkey or chimp rote the script and directed the movie. If you value you're life, you wont watch this movie (even if you can see it for free)

shwayder1 OK, i think everyone who thinks this is just a dumb kids' movie, "professional" critics included, have missed the point completely! There are archetypal characters, the full arc of self-fulfillment, the classic fallen hero restored, and the more mundane messages of not judging the book by it's cover and helping homeless pets find homes. There are the broad strokes of good vs evil, overcoming odds, and dog fighting is bad. I spent less time laughing at this movie than i did cheering for the characters. The title is the worst ever, absolutely the worst. I personally know that everyone i told to see this movie hadn't planned to because of the title, but they were all impressed. Yes, it is cute dogs, yes it is Disney, yes there are some obvious stereotypes and obvious literary licenses taken. But if you don't get that each central character has gone through a journey and come out on the other side, then you are just seeing the cover of the book.

stevenball2 This is a cute fun movie for dog lovers of all ages. It is a love story between Cloe & Papi (voices of Drew Barrymore & George Lopez). The Mexican locales add greatly. There are no fake Hollywood set pieces. All the dog voices are pitch perfect. Placido Domingo? Really? Anytime a 20M movie makes 100M that means sequel. The sequel to this movie went straight to DVD. It isn't quite up to the original as sequels often are. Still if you have to babysit some kids & you are stuck indoors on a rainy day = this is a perfect movie. The only way to improve this movie would be to turn it into a musical.Or maybe a puppet movie like Team America.
