ShangLuda Admirable film.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

deadthelma1 I gave this 2 stars because my 5 year old twins liked the dog. This movie is awful... Not just low budget, but truly terrible. The acting is so bad, there are these awkward moments where it starts to feel like softcore porn with dogs & kids in place of porn.... I'm not sure if peanut the Chihuahua was in charge of makeup but that's really the only explanation I can offer for the over done smoky eye + dark lip color (porno) look that appears to have been applied with a paw. There's a duet featuring two of the most unpleasantly peculiar voices I've ever heard, set to a montage of clips that have nothing to do with the song and only offer to confuse viewers even more, as though trying to follow the plot weren't bad enough. If you appreciate a great bad movie, this one does not fail to deliver. Chihuahua: The Movie is equal parts unintentionally awful, creepy and weird. Emphasis on awful.

eagibz This movie. was. terrible. It's like a bad student film. I imagine a professor being like "Here is a cheap camcorder. Produce a movie with an obvious moral. Oh and it has to have a dog." and BAM some student popped this out. Horrible camera angles? check. Looks like a bad home video? check. Horrible script? check. Bad acting? check. Weird 10 seconds of viewing disgusting teeth way too close? check. Awkward moments? check. Bad voice-over? check. The dog had the best acting. The good part about this movie? The main character got changed into a dog and her body was in a coma, so we didn't have to watch her struggle through her parts.

Amy Adler Sondra (Anya Benton) is a type-A weight loss consultant who lives in the Los Angeles area. Therefore, Hollywood stars are sometimes her clients, as well as other folk. But, personally, she has big problems, mostly because she focuses on herself 95 percent of the time! Her fiancé is fed up with her and so is her long-suffering personal assistant, Jeannie (Renee Pezzotta) who puts up with stuff to save her job. Jeannie, a widowed mother with two young children, also has a darling chihuahua, Bella, who she is hoping will become a therapy dog through training. One day, Sondra is impossible and soon after, she receives a visit from an old school friend. Though they were once close, this pal hardly recognizes Sondra and decides to do something about it. Through magic, she puts the diet lady's mind in Bella's head, while her body goes into a coma at the hospital. From a canine's perspective, will Sondra see the error of her ways, especially her treatment of Jeannie? You bet! This is a cute, pleasant film for families but never goes from good to great. The stars are fine, with Benton a very pretty actress and Pezzotta quite touching, while the supporting actors do nice work, too. But, its obvious from the start that the movie is a more low budget affair, with the camera work very average and the script, costumes, sets, and direction nothing to write home about either. However, since the darling little dog Peanut plays Bella to perfection, the film moves along and charms in a small way. If your loved ones are animal-movie fans, they will like this one just fine.

peanutandpixie This movie is a great family film with a wonderful message. There was no profanity or violence of any kind in the film. The cast appeared to play very well off of each other. It was a good cast without the big names. But do not let the lack of big names sway you from seeing the film. It didn't need them. I even found myself with a tear rolling down my cheek at one point during the film. Bella, the Chihuahua, was cute as could be and appeared to have soulful eyes. It was also great to have a film show a bit about therapy dogs and the visits they make to children at a hospital. A little side fact: the Chihuahua playing Bella is a much loved family pet in real life and this was the pups first film.
