Movie Info
A pampered Chihuahua accustomed to the living the good life in glamorous Beverly Hills must rein in her heiress instincts and rely on the kindness of strangers in order to find her way back home after becoming hopelessly lost in Mexico. Chloe (voice of Drew Barrymore) is a diamond-clad toy dog who favors traveling in her wealthy owner's purse over frolicking in an open park, and Papi (voice of George Lopez) is the kind of independent pup that she doesn't afford a second glance.

It kind of reaffirmed a lot of cultural stereotypes.
Top CriticIt's cute and sweet and funny.
For most of Beverly Hills Chihuahua, all I could think about was Drew Barrymore. What might she have been up to while she recited her lines for Chloe, the spoiled yet sad-looking live-action Chihuahua that speaks in her voice.
The good news: Beverly Hills Chihuahua is not the apocalypse-signaling, cultural abomination its trailers make it out to be. The bad news: That's pretty much the best thing that can be said about it.
Beverly Hills Chihuahua is hardly Best in Show when it comes to Disney dog movies.
Despite its superficial lip-service to self-actualization/realization, there has to be more to life than what Beverly Hills Chihuahua is putting out there, which is fit for neither man nor beast.
A kid's film doesn't have to be an all time classic to be watchable - once anyway - for the whole audience. No one in Beverly Hills Chihuahua seems to care enough to bother. And if they don't care, why should I?
...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.
Only watch this if you adore seeing dogs wearing shades.
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.
