Be they 50% warrior, 50% lover or 100% Chihuahua, the one thing you will all agree on is that BEVERLY HILLS CHIHUAHUA is 100% cute, 100% adorable, 100% entertaining and 110% fun.

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

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

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

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.

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

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's cute and sweet and funny.

...a sort of live-action hybrid of Lady and the Tramp and Saludos Amigos...

Awwww, chihuahua!

It's a happy report that the preview's bark is far worse than the movie's bite. There is a Chihuahua brigade (fronted by Placido Domingo, no less), but thankfully no musical numbers. It's a modestly charming old-dog family film with few new tricks.

A doggone good movie for kids

Even after a slow start, this silly kiddie flick has a little more pep than you might expect. It's no doggie classic, but neither does it deserve a pooper scooper.

Delgado (voiced by Andy Garcia), a reluctantly heroic German Shepherd, definitely deserves a movie of his own! Eat your heart out, Rin Tin Tin.

If celebrity purebred Tinkerbell sees this canine consciousness-raiser, there could be a putsch in Paris Hilton's purse.

The real stars of this film are the dogs. The humans were lackluster in comparison. But the reality is that you can't beat talking dogs on the cuteness meter.

What appeared to have all the potential of a so-bad-it's-fun masterpiece turned out to just be an average friendly enough kid's flick that often wanders the deserts of Mexico without much direction.

This being Disney, wholesome character-building messages abound, but for once they're freshly spun as cautions against stereotyping both ethnic and canine.
