Le chihuahua de Beverly Hills

I wonder how many people would be able to create a movie with animals talking? Since we have a little dog that looks like the one in the movie I couldn't believe how well all those little dogs performed especially the German Sheperd. The scenery, the plot, and the animation was really good. We laughed and we cried at this movie. When we got home I expected my little dog to start talking to me...Well he just sat there and looked sad because we had been gone so long. He goes everywhere with us and is a very fine little partner. We had never had a chihuahua before and had no idea how neat they can be for a pet. Ours is a combination dog but looks just like a chihuahua. Good to the children and friendly to people. It is refreshing to go to a movie that is exciting, clean in words and has the good and the evil being beaten out. A kids and adult movie that everyone can enjoy. We liked it and would go see it again...

I agree with some of the previous reviewers - how can you rate a movie without even seeing it?!? Well, guess that gives us the right to rate THEM without even knowing them! I give those people a 1.5.

This is a KID'S movie and to rate it a 2 is ridiculous. It's not the best movie but it sure is much better than A LOT of recent kid's/animated films. My kids, 4 & 5, loved this movie and that's really my biggest requirement. There are many others where they were bored and wanted to leave in less than 30 minutes.

To the people voting it so low (especially ones who vote without viewing) - GET A LIFE!

Chloe, voiced by Drew Barrymore, is the spoiled-rotten canine of the title, and is owned by a fashionista played by Jamie Lee Curtis. Curtis dotes on the dog, but makes a mistake when she has to go on a working vacation and palms the dog off on her irresponsible niece (Piper Perabo). Perabo takes the dog with her for a Mexican vacation of her own - and soon Chloe is dog-napped by human scum who run dogfight rings. Chloe and her weary protector, a German Shepherd voiced by Andy Garcia, have a wild series of misadventures as various characters take off after them - including a fearsome Doberman named El Diablo (voiced by Edward James Olmos).

Some people are being awfully harsh on what is essentially supposed to be a *family film*. I personally found it to be very cute. It's a lively, sometimes silly, but sometimes funny talking-animal movie with a steady assortment of adorable four-legged stars, good work by the actors on screen, and spirited performances by the big name cast doing the voices (also including George Lopez (as the fiercely loyal Papi), Placido Domingo, Loretta Devine, Luis Guzman, and Cheech Marin & Paul Rodriguez, who are the biggest suppliers of comedy relief as a conniving rat & iguana who are a scam artist team).

The script does poke gentle fun at those rich people who treat breeds like Chihuahuas as fashion accessories, and who adorn them with "booties" and diamond collars, and the movie even functions as a loving ode to all things Chihuahua.

Something like this may NEVER be taken for "great cinema", but I say it does its job pretty well, even if the story is ultimately formulaic. All in all, it's fairly charming. Chihuahua lovers have a head start.

Followed by two sequels.

I don't own any dogs nor do I particularly like or dislike them any more than any other animal. So coming from that utterly neutral position, I can say that this movie isn't nearly as terrible as others have implied - often for their own jaundiced reasons.

First, unlike the contemporary Wall-E, this movie isn't preachy about anything. It's just a silly minor adventure with talking animals where all things work out pretty well in the end - as they must in a kids' movie from Disney. Sure, I was bothered by depictions of the excesses of the super rich of Beverly Hills; the way they lavish excess not only upon themselves but their dogs. However, this does exist. There are people who piously attend charity events for starving strangers and then go home to feed their dogs Kobe beef. That's the world and this movie did not make that world.

I would prefer being upset about watching the reality of such excess than watching the superb and factually accurate Hotel Rwanda. I found that movie unwatchable due to the pain it evoked in me knowing that these events actually occurred during my lifetime.

So given a choice - do I wish to feel pain at real or even a pretend horror depiction or contempt at the super rich's folly? I'll take the latter.

This movie is silliness with some amusing CGI. Let's not get overly concerned that it should be more than that.

This movie has a lower rating than "Superhero movie". And that was absolutely crap. I am not a child and not a dog lover. Still i found myself liking this movie.And no I am not suffering from any mental illness or something like that. Honestly the nerve of people to say something like that. I wonder if most of the reviewers actually have seen the movie. If so what did these people expect from a movie like this. A talking Chihuahua reciting a poem from Shakespeare or just a cute dog mixed up in some little adventure. Compared to previous Disney movies about animals it is on the same level. So what if it isn't original. What movie is these days. This movie hasn't got one dull moment. I sat through the movie without ever looking at the clock. And I can tell you that a lot of the big titles that came out this year wished they had the same effect on me.Most of the box office titles made this year have disappointed me much more because I had high expectations. For "Beverly Hills Chihuahua" i had no expectations whatsoever and got rewarded with fun.
