This is one of those movies where you get exactly what you would expect. Going in, you would think you are getting a family-friendly, cute dog movie that is moderately funny and that is exactly what this is. Nothing more, nothing less. What you don't expect is that very little of this movie occurs in Beverly Hills, since it is more a "fish out of water" tale. Chloe (Drew Barrymore), the titular chihuahua, is taken by her dog-sitter to Mexico. It does not take long for them to become separated, sending Chloe on an adventure to return to her more familiar home in Beverly Hills. While this is definitely a fun film for the whole family, I found to be sort of predictable and bland. There were some laughs to be found, but not a whole lot of them. There are certainly worse ways to spend family movie night, but I certainly wouldn't rush to the video store to pick up this one. That being said, this movie definitely has a target audience and I think that audience will be very happy with the movie. Like I started off saying, you get exactly what you expect: good or bad.
