Beverly Hills Chihuahua finds director Raja Gosnell back on the talking-dog beat (following his live-action Scooby-Doo and Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleased), this time in an ambitious, tongue-in-cheek comedy with a fun cast of onscreen and vocal actors. Piper Perabo plays Rachel, niece of a Beverly Hills eccentric (Jamie Lee Curtis) who spends much of her fortune pampering Chloe (voiced by Drew Barrymore), a spoiled Chihuahua used to pacing through this world with booties on her paws. Chloe gets dog-napped while Rachel takes a vacation in Mexico, and finds protection from a misfit German Shepherd named Delgado (Andy Garcia), who has a painful secret in his past. The two get into and out of a lot of scrapes, trying to stay ahead of a vicious dog (Edward James Olmos) working for the head of an illegal dogfight gambling syndicate. Computer effects turn the film's many four-legged characters into talking critters capable of leaping onto train boxcars and leading the heroine into the Indiana Jones-like ancestral home of the chihuahua breed. The comedy is crisp and kid-friendly, the story of Chloe rise out of silliness into canine authenticity, plus the film's surprising ambitiousness, are all very winning. --Tom Keogh Stills from Beverly Hills Chihuahua (Click for larger image) Starring: Jaime Lee Curtis, Drew Barrymore, George Lopez, Piper Perabo, Andy Garcia Directed by: Raja Gosnell Produced by: David Hoberman, John Jacobs, Todd Lieberman Format: AC-3, Color, Dolby, Dubbed, DVD-Video, Full Screen, NTSC, Subtitled, Widescreen Language: English Subtitles: French, Spanish Region: Region 1 Aspect Ratio: 1.33:1 Number of Discs: 1 Rating: PG (Parental Guidance Suggested) Studio : Walt Disney Pictures DVD Release Date : 2009-03-03 Run Time : 91 minutes ASIN/ISBN : B001CTDH4Y Retail $29.99 Beverly Hills Chihuahua
