Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2

I liked the original Beverly Hills Chihuahua well enough. It certainly wasn't spectacular, but it was OK. I remember saying at the time: "It needs more chihuahuas." Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2 answers my request. Chloe and Papi are back with a litter of puppies. They have some really cute adventures and save the day with chihuahua can-do. The film is quick too, with an 84 minute run time. It is a nice little kids movie. The dogs are cute as buttons, which I think is the point of these movies. My 12 year old enjoyed that. I did as well. I think adults will like it too as long as they remember that it is a Disney children's movie about talking dogs. Unfortunately, Drew Barrymore does not return as the voice of Chloe.

It's a good, the story is good, comedy is fine, action is great, and the dogs are pretty cute and great actors! Overall this is a great movie, with a good story, good action and comedy.

Papi (voice of George Lopez), a chihuahua belonging to a gardener, and Chloe, who belongs to rich Beverly Hills businesswoman Aunt Viv (Susan Blakely) get married! This after they fell in love in BHC 1. Soon, they have a family of 5 darling little puppies, too. Meanwhile, Aunt Viv's niece and the gardener have also fallen in love but there may be complications. So, no ring yet. The gardener decides to take the whole family of chihuahua's to his parents' home in Mexico, so they can meet the pack and so he can get advice on affairs of the heart. While they are there, unhappy news arrives at once. The parents are going to lose their long-held family home unless they can pay the back mortgage payments. The pair got behind when the father was injured and unable to do his landscaping job. What are they going to do? In fact, before long, the whole caboodle are thrown out, due to the puppies creating havoc on the house and the loan officer. Everyone troops back to the USA and Aunt Viv's home to think. Fortunately, there is a dog show in Beverly Hills that week and the prize money would get back the Mexican house! Can Papi or Chloe win? Also, they once again meet up with Delgado, a friend from the first film, who needs the huahuas help as well. Will things work out? Of course! Bow Wow Wow, what a darling film! This viewer loved the first one and found this one equally fun. Some of the cast members have changed but, thankfully, Lopez is still here to do a great Papi. Also, French Stewart, Emily Osment, Morgan Fairchild and others lend their talents, too. The scenery is wonderful, as are the costumes, photography, script and sure direction. My advice? Turn any down-in-the-dumps-day into a great one by renting or buying this lovely film!

Fun - Silly - but fun

Just a silly movie about Chihuahua parents raising their pups to be honest citizens.

Not a movie to 'think' about but just the right level of fluff to keep human parents and children entertained for awhile.

Good guys & bad guys keep the story going.

There really isn't much a review can say about this type of flick -- you have to be the sort of person that likes movies with talking dogs on a sleuthing mission that turns out to be most positive.

Give it a look for very light weight entertainment!

I mean, its garbage isn't it. You don't need me to tell you this. The low rent sequel to a film that was already pretty rubbish. . . But at least it's true to itself. There is no pretence to it.

Chloe (Odette Annable) and Papi (George Lopez) have married, because that's a thing, and have a litter of puppies. . . . that much of the plot I do remember. There is also some business about Sam's family losing their home as well and some nonsense about Delgado (Miguel Ferrer) having sent his kids away, because that's a thing too.

The plot is terrible, generally the actors (even the voice actors) from the original have left and been replaced by cheaper alternates, and the visual effects are poor. The story is inconsistent as to it's own logic regarding dogs and their owners. It's a bad film, is what I am saying to you, there is no getting around it. It exists purely because Disney had learned how to do this effect now (not well, but still) and because the original made a staggering amount of money.

But, like it's original, at least there's none of the vomit inducing earnestness that I'm getting from a lot of the "dog-based Disney films" I seem to be stuck watching at the moment. It knows that it's a cheap cash grab and just settles for that and you know what, I can almost respect it for it - almost, but not quite - because, as previously mentioned, it's a terrible, boring and unfunny time.
