It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2 is an irresistible Disney comedy with tons of adventure that is perfect for the entire family! It is directed by Alex Zamm and written by Dannah Feinglass, Danielle Schneider, and Jeffrey Bushell. Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2 is about two newlywed Chihuahuas named Papi and Chloe who start a family. Chloe gives birth to 5 impetuous and reckless puppies, but the pups soon get their act together when they find out their human owners have trouble paying off the mortgages for their house. The dogs decide to enter the Beverly Hills dog show in hope for the $50,000 prize to help their owners keep the house, but unfortunately, the dogs do not win. However, a bank robbery occurs and the pups decide to stop the crime. Their mischievousness leads them to capturing the robbers and saving the day, but will this good deed be enough to stop the bank from foreclosing their human owners' house? The voice over of the movie is excellent. The dogs' voices fit their personalities well and the voice over contains a lot of emotion. For example, Delgado (voiced over by Miguel Ferrer) who is a sleuthhound, had a husky voice which matched well with his appearance as well as his role in the movie. Papi's voice also adjusted well to things that were going on in the movie. For example, when he told his pups nightly bedtime stories, his voice would become low in pitch and he would sound mysterious. The movie is also very comical. I found myself giggling in almost every scene! This movie overall is exhilarating and it contains heartwarming messages such as "true love is worth any risk," "love fearlessly, and help others share their hearts as well," "family is about who you love, not just who you are born to," "we are stronger together than we are alone," and "stick by your loved ones, even in hard times." The message "stick by your loved ones, even in hard times," is perhaps the most significant message in the movie because Papi's entire family as well as his owners' family tried their best to prevent the bank from foreclosing their home. I would recommend this movie to ages 6 and up. Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2 is a splendid family film, but if director Alex Zamm created more suspense while the dogs were enjoying their escapades, the movie would have created a bigger impact on the audience and hence, become more captivating. Nevertheless, all in all, this film is perfect for anyone who wants to watch a humorous entertaining adventure about talking dogs! Reviewed by Gabriella Chu, KIDS FIRST! Film Critic (age 14)

The movie is cute but i was really disappointed that they changed out actors like that. And though it really is a heartwarming little movie, it still lacks a lot compared to the first one. A lot less action than the first and minus a ton of detail to the story line, but with the way they portrayed Pedro, I'm willing to overlook it somewhat because they didn't make him out to be a big bad dog like most people already see them as. Has a predictable ending, though a good one. Would loved to have had more filler to the movie though. Felt as if they spent most of the planning on the beginning of the movie and the talent show while rushing the rest of the movie. The conflict with the missing puppies is all of a few minutes and seems too easily solved, even for a family movie.

OK the Chihuahuas and the movie overall get a 10. But I gave it a 7 because I really liked the actors from the 1st movie. I happen to love both movies but the voices and personalities matched and won over in the 1st movie. I am especially disappointed with the Pug's voice over and I'm not exactly impressed with the actors in the lead roles as Sam and Rachel.Thank Goodness for the adorable Chihuahuas!! and for the overall concept of the movie and I hope they make a III and IV and keep it going! We all know how much the world loves Chihuahuas! That's why I've watched #1 at least 100 times with my grandson Sumner and we probably will watch #2 another 100 times and pray there's a Pt.3...LOL

I liked the original Beverly Hills Chihuahua well enough. It certainly wasn't spectacular, but it was OK. I remember saying at the time: "It needs more chihuahuas." Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2 answers my request. Chloe and Papi are back with a litter of puppies. They have some really cute adventures and save the day with chihuahua can-do. The film is quick too, with an 84 minute run time. It is a nice little kids movie. The dogs are cute as buttons, which I think is the point of these movies. My 12 year old enjoyed that. I did as well. I think adults will like it too as long as they remember that it is a Disney children's movie about talking dogs. Unfortunately, Drew Barrymore does not return as the voice of Chloe.
