Reviews for Beverly Hills Chihuahua
In a year light on family films, this may be a good bet. Exciting adventure, admirable messages, and good, clean fun--but be warned, its bite is worse than its bark!

Paris Hilton and lower-level office workers who own calendars featuring Weimaraners wearing hats will love it.

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.

[During the credits]Disney warns people to be careful when picking a dog and that all dogs deserve a good home. If only they were that concerned about their movie.

It's hard to go wrong with a movie full of talking dogs. But the makers of Beverly Hills Chihuahua sure try.

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.

Disney is now content with the likes of the wholly inoffensive, uninventive Beverly Hills Chihuahua, whose canine antics will divert undemanding youngsters and adults who believe the simple absence of profanity, sex and violence counts as a virtue.
10/03/08
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.

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.
10/03/08
Beverly Hills Chihuahua is hardly Best in Show when it comes to Disney dog movies.
10/03/08
In the words of another famous talking dog, Beverly Hills Chihuahua looks like something for me to poop on.
10/03/08
This being Disney, wholesome character-building messages abound, but for once they’re freshly spun as cautions against stereotyping both ethnic and canine.
10/03/08
A Lady and the Tramp for the Taco Bell set, Beverly Hills Chihuahua fits nicely into the long line of Disney dog movies designed to delight children and animal lovers.
10/03/08
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.
10/03/08
Top CriticA live-action movie with a boatload of cute pooches that, despite bewitching effects and a charming voice cast, buries its sentiment in a too-tangled tale.
10/03/08
The film is Beverly Hills Chihuahua. The audience is the fire hydrant.
10/03/08
Beverly Hills Chihuahua approaches but never quite achieves a truly spectacular level of absurdity.
10/03/08
Top CriticIf Chihuahua is no Babe or Charlotte's Web, at least it's in the Alvin and the Chipmunks ballpark. Just remember nobody went to the pet store and grabbed a chipmunk on the way home after that one.
