User Review
When did IMDb become so cynical? This is a kid's movie for goodness sake!
Rating: 6/10
Honestly, I can't help but notice all the people who once again are
rating this movie without seeing it and just because they suspect the
movie is going to be bad, they rate it anyways as a one. Well, I'm
going to once again give you an honest review, I saw this movie last
Saturday and honestly enjoyed it. I know I'm going to receive a lot of
bashing, but I always look at movies as what they are supposed to be,
this was meant to be a children's movie, it's meant for fun. Remember
how we all had those cheesy animal movies when we were kids as well?
Well Beverly Hills Chihuahua is no different, it's just updated with
today's world. I thought it was a good idea, we see all these rich
people now-a-days with the way they just lavish their dogs with jewels
that cost more than people's houses, it takes a little joke at it. The
story is recycled, but it's still a lot fun to watch and has some
really fun scenes.
Chloe is a Beverly Hills Chihuahua who is just so pampered, with
clothes, jewelery, and a life style anyone would die to have. Her
owner, Vivian, has to go away on a business trip and leaves her party
girl niece, Rachel, to watch Chloe. When they go to Mexico, Chloe is
kidnapped and put into a dog fight... she is then saved by another dog,
Delgado, who is going to help her get back to Beverly Hills. But when
the man who runs the dog fights finds out that Chloe is worth
something, he sends his Doberman dog, Diablo, after her. Rachel, the
land scaper, Sam, and his dog, Pepi who is also in love with Chloe, are
on the hunt to find her and get her home safe and sound.
Beverly Hills Chihuahua is a fun movie if you give it a decent chance,
I thought it was a nice chance from the constant CGI we always have
with these animal stories. I was also impressed that the talking didn't
look so fake with the dogs. I tell you though I'm convinced that the
dog that played Delgado is the same dog from I Am Legend, that dog just
deserves an Oscar, lol, come on, you gotta agree. Well, Beverly Hills
Chihuahua is a great family film, as for seeing it on your own or with
a friend, I would say that it's worth the rental more so. It's a silly
movie I admit, but I had a fun time watching it and I wish IMDb users
would give this movie the fair chance it deserves.
