Chihuahua movie not a dog?


I saw a trailer for "Beverly Hills Chihuahua" while I was on vacation last summer.

It looked like it might be good for a laugh, or at least to see how complicated the CGI effects are getting all those dogs to dance and strut and talk.

Here's a review from Reuters.

The reviewer wishes that the script matched the cast.
It would have given that inspired voice cast more to chew on, though [Drew] Barrymore, [Andy] Garcia (more animated than he has been in years), [George] Lopez, Placido Domingo[!], Luis Guzman, Cheech Marin, Paul Rodriguez and a menacing Edward James Olmos in Doberman form (as Delgado's arch-nemesis, El Diablo) do nicely with what they're fed.
And what would that be? I'll bet it's not kibble.

Still, I'll wait until it's at the $2 movie.

UPDATE: What would we do without Youtube? Here's a trailer for the film.

And then here's the official Disney Web site with another trailer.

Best Friends Sanctuary in Utah and other animal friendly organizations and shelters fear that many people will be buying chihuahuas after this film, just as they did Dalmatians after the Dalmatian movies. They have started a campaign urging people to adopt chihuahuas from shelters instead.
