Beverly Hills Chihuahua (2008) (Blu Ray) - 3/10

The only reason I checked out this movie today was b/c I wanted to see how bad it was and confirming my prediction, it was absolutely horrible. The thought of putting out a movie about talking Chihuahuas seems insane and yet there is a demographic of kids out there that eat this shit up. To me though, I noticed every problem and was just continually annoyed by how dumb this movie treated the audience, confirming the superficiality of Hollywood and it's Paris-Hilton-like infatuation with little dogs. This movie doesn't explain any rules of why the dogs can talk but instead just opens the movie with dogs talking to eachother and people apparently talking to the dogs as well spoiling them rotten. Trying to make it an adventure story of getting stolen and finding it's way home, the plot of this movie reinforced all the mistakes of a cheesy saturday cartoon by using poop jokes and fake CGI to fill in all the boring parts. Even though Piper Perabo is a grade A hottie, she is barely in this movie and instead just runs around not doing anything. Overall, this movie is not only laughably bad, but almost unwatchable as I couldn't get past how stupid the dogs mouths looked while talking and why people would waste their time animating a movie that depicts cruelty to animals while trying promote dog fashion. Lame!
