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.

My wife is a dog-lover (I am not). We raised pugs for many years and they are all gone to doggy heaven now. When I saw a film preview that included a pug, I just had to get my wife to this movie. (She will rarely go to a movie - many are just plain bad). We had a GREAT time. It is a comedy, so let's not worry about the misplaced geography which I did not notice until reading some of the negative views here. I am a great admirer of the film-making art. The freight train episode is an amazing piece of film work. The attack of the mountain lions is quite convincing. Both of the latter we found quite convincing. Every pooch in this film deserves an Oscar as do the humans and the writers. This is a fine family movie, for both children and adults. Don't take it seriously. It is a comedy. It is an entertainment, and we just felt we needed something like this to get away from the depressing news - economic disaster in America, fires in California to the North and South of us. This film is just what the doctor ordered for an evening.

Movies with talking dogs or babies are hard sells. Part of it is that many folks dislike these sorts of movies. Part of it is that they've already made movies like this...so "Beverly Hills Chihuahua" is in trouble from the start. But it also has a huge problem with it as well...you hate so many of the humans as well as the title character. Who wants to watch incredibly spoiled idiots buy their dogs expensive jewelry or expensive designer duds?! In fact, I think if you showed it in many poor countries, you'd get EVERYONE to hate Americans and assume we all treat our dogs far better than we'd treat human beings!

So, despite all this, is the film any good? No.

The story is about a super-spoiled Chihuahua who is kidnapped by a Mexican dog fighting gang. There, she meets all sorts of dog and all the usual stereotypes are presented. During dog fighting, running away, not having food, etc., this dog talks about how sad it is she no longer smells like Chanel!!

Overall, a bunch of annoying voiceovers and so many worthless and irritating people and dogs. I found nothing to like about this film...and found it particularly irksome that a huge and successful studio made THIS....and marketed this bowl of dog drool to the public so heavily. Imagine...spending $20,000,000 to make THIS!!! Ugh!

Rarely has a movie left me this angry and frustrated.
