Beverly Hills Chihuahua (2008)

It's actually not as bad as the trailer made it out to be. They actually may have had something had the director not been Raja Gosnell, who goes for the lowest common denominator way too often: I'm Too Sexy as a gag? Really? That was tired fifteen years ago.

The base story is essentially Homeward Bound/The Incredible Journey in Mexico. Drew Barrymore voices the lead as a pampered princess from Beverly Hills, but most of the other voices, in Mexico are Hispanic. The voice work is pretty well done, and the film was more harmless than I expected.

A different director, and I might have even recommended the film. Grade: C
