Very, very cute movie. Once I got past the lips moving on the dogs (hey, that commercial with the toddler talking just creeps me out, what can I say?) I really enjoyed the movie. And I just couldn’t get enough of the puppies. The “squee!” factor is HUGE.
It starts out with the wedding of Papi and Chloe and the resulting litter of five (SQUEE!) puppies. The wedding is fun, all the dog buddies attending and this wedding was way bigger than mine. Dancing dogs are always a hoot.
They live at Chloe’s home in Beverly Hills. When Chloe’s people (Susie Blakely is Aunt Viv and I kept thinking “hey, you dated Charlie Harper!”, Erin Cahill is Rachel, Viv’s daughter) go off in search of finding important medical botanicals, Papi’s human (Marcus Coloma is Sam) is in charge. While in his care, they all go visit Sam’s parents and that’s when the trouble starts. Sam’s father hurt his back and has been unable to work and is in danger of losing the family home. The banker (a real horse’s ass, don’t know why cat people are made out to be such jerks, I know I’m not…well, most of the time) has no heart and ends up forcing the family into leaving the house they’ve had for years.
The dogs get entered in a dog show in hopes of winning $50,000 (they had my vote) and that’s got some adorable moments. But, seriously? A dog painting? Show me the “Why Dogs Paint” book, would ya? Everybody knows cats are the REAL painters….
Fortunately, the dogs save the day. Papi’s Warrior Chihuahua tales (learning moments) have made a deep impression on the puppies (SQUEE!) and they all end up catching the bad guys (aren’t there always bad guys?) and keeping the family home safe from the bad banker man (funny scene when he gets knocked over by the dogs, I won’t ruin it, but if you’ve ever been on the receiving end of a happy dog, you’ll smile).
I liked this movie, it was entertaining and it did make me laugh. With a
little bitlot of squeeing along the way.We played the Chihuahua challenge a couple of times, I wasn’t fast enough with the remote, even though I knew the answers.
It’s a sweet movie and I recommend it for all ages.
