Chloe (voice of DREW BARRYMORE), a diamond-clad, bootie wearing Beverly Hills Chihuahua enjoys her luxurious lifestyle so much, she hardly notices Papi (voice of GEORGE LOPEZ), a hilarious Chihuahua who happens to be crazy for Chloe. But when the most pampered pooch gets lost in Mexico with only a street-wise German Shepherd (voice of ANDY GARCIA) to help her find her way home, Papi heads south of the border—joining forces with a motley crew: three dogs (voices of PLÁCIDO DOMINGO, LUIS GUZMAN and EDDIE "PIOLIN" SOTELO), two humans (PIPER PERABO, MANOLO CARDONA), a sly rat (voice of CHEECH MARIN) and a nervous iguana (voice of PAUL RODRIGUEZ)—to rescue his true love.

...ultimately about as enthralling as a low-rent Saturday morning cartoon.

Gosnell gracelessly walks us through cheap, generic talking dog material, while parents everywhere groan silently to themselves.

An appealing film for dog lovers and those seeking escapist entertainment.

It’s hugely silly, but peppy enough to be tolerable. What grates most are the patronising racial stereotypes: the dirty Mexican dogs are just waiting to be rescued by LA ladies and given a good bath.

Younger audiences will adore this canine caper, though grown-ups might feel its one joke is stretched too far.

In a triumph of animal wrangling and CGI tinkering, the canine cast turn in better performances than some of the humans.

This piece of egregious silliness from Disney - featuring live-action canines with CGI moving mouths - isn't quite as awful as it sounds.

Not that anybody would expect perfection from a film called Beverly Hills Chihuahua, but the chewed bone of a story makes it all mutts ado about nothing.

A state-of-the-art kid-pleaser for sure, but recession-weary parents will probably find it a mite obnoxious.

This live-action Disney comedy is the kind of family film which is aimed not so much at parents, as small children and their goldfish, as long as the goldfish do not have too long an attention span.

In truth, this good-natured Disney comedy is an engaging romp.

It’s put across with enough brio to excuse the ­inherent ­stupidity of the premise.

You want to cringe as the picture begins, but you end up quite enjoying it.

Watchable, largely average family movie, enlivened by decent performances and the occasionally surreal, off-the-wall moment.

Silly beyond reason, it somehow manages to win us over despite our doubts, and by the end we're ashamed that we can't stop giggling.

What doesn't make sense is that while the doggies can follow human speech, the humans don't get pooch talk, it's all Yap-Yapanese.

It kind of reaffirmed a lot of cultural stereotypes.
