Strictly average movie

How sad is this?

I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

I wasn't a fan of BEVERLY HILLS CHIHUAHUA 2 and 3, but the original makes up for it all: a talking- dog movie that's also a strangely involving exploration into a chihuahua's racial roots. The DOGS & CATS franchise was more of a Hollywood caper (with loyal dogs and unreliable cats mixing it up); sure, BHC has the expected animated dog voices, but the film has more of a "I can't believe I'm actually enjoying this" feel. Yes, the south-of-the-border chihuahuas in this film actually have Mexican accents, and spend a long time exploring their doggie heritage.This is truly a classic.

OK, i think everyone who thinks this is just a dumb kids' movie, "professional" critics included, have missed the point completely! There are archetypal characters, the full arc of self-fulfillment, the classic fallen hero restored, and the more mundane messages of not judging the book by it's cover and helping homeless pets find homes. There are the broad strokes of good vs evil, overcoming odds, and dog fighting is bad. I spent less time laughing at this movie than i did cheering for the characters. The title is the worst ever, absolutely the worst. I personally know that everyone i told to see this movie hadn't planned to because of the title, but they were all impressed. Yes, it is cute dogs, yes it is Disney, yes there are some obvious stereotypes and obvious literary licenses taken. But if you don't get that each central character has gone through a journey and come out on the other side, then you are just seeing the cover of the book.

Guys, for those who gave less than 4 to this movie and then posted a comment, Why did you even bother wasting time to type some comments if you think the movie is a waste of time.Rating this movie as a Family comedy, its probably one of the better out there recently and well worth an 8 in Family comedy category and a 6 overall category.It is well made, lively and has always something to laugh. Sure if you are an adrenaline junkie, this is not your movie or if you are the one you has nothing to do than rate movies to fill the number of movies you have voted without seeing - mate you need a Life.I think some of the votes (<4) should be casted as SPAM.Anyways, i give you a 200% you girl and Kids will love it!!

As a family, we thoroughly enjoyed this clean, hilarious, and cute comedy. Unrealistic? Yes, but who cares if Mountain Lions really don't travel in packs. Some of the funniest lines are quotable. Acting was fairly decent. The animals were all very convincing in their roles, including the rodents. Voice-overs were well synced. The plot was clever, and only somewhat predictable. Piper's performance was superb.This movie serves as proof that Hollywood can still generate family-friendly movies without the sexual innuendos and toilet humor. Would love to see a sequel with the same characters.
