Art Last!! Reviews Of BEVERLY HILLS CHIHUAHUA Arrive On The Internets!!

Published at:  Sep 16, 2008 11:30:07 AM CDT


Merrick here...



We've taken a few shots at, well, BEVERLY HILLS CHIHUAHUA over the last few months, but have only received a scant smattering of feedback from people who've actually seen the film (like THIS "5 out of 10" review, which we posted back in July).

I can't understand what the problem would be here. Anything from the director of the two SCOOBY-DOO movies should be smooth sailing all the way, no? See, we just can't help ourselves! So, in the interest of fair play...

A guy over at Scholck Around The Clock has actually looked upon the work. and has carefully forged an assessment of epic proportions:


Beverly Hills Chihuahua most certainly does not suck. And I will be taking my little girl to see it as soon as it’s on general release. It’s a breezy, funny, colorful and very good-natured comic adventure that youngsters are going to love, and that parents are going to enjoy despite their preconceptions. What’s truly surprising is that the trailers contain virtually nothing that’s actually in the movie – which is simultaneously a monstrous undertaking in untruth-in-advertising and a remarkable case of branding savvy.


...says the lengthy assessment, which can be found HERE.

BHC open October 3.

    And branding savvy?

    by lordporkington

    Sounds like a studio plant to me. Would a casual viewer watch the movie and then think 'Hey, that didn't contain any of the footage I saw in the trailer!'? Very suspicious if you ask me. And I know you didn't ask me, but I'm saying it anyway...

    Ever since Axel Foley...

    by terry1978

    Hollywood has determined that sticking Beverly Hills in front of any cliche suddenly can be a movie. Beverly Hills Ninja, Beverly Hills Chihuahua, and a bunch of direct-to indie flicks that I can't recall. I'm waiting for Beverly Hills Serial Rapist personally, that will be the contender for certain.

    Silence of the Chihuahuas

    by turketron

    Movie begins with a chihuahua bleakly staring into the camera while "Don't Stop Believin" blares. A gloved hand holding a silenced pistol raises from the side of the screen.
    "Doooon't stop--"
    *pew!* *yelp!*
    *screen goes black*
    ...
    ...
    ...
    ...
    credits roll
    ???
    PROFIT!

    Just about always means the film is going to stink up the place...it's like putting the words "Police" and "Academy" in a title. (With exception of the first Beverly Hills cop which was a gem....but does anyone remember Beverly Hills ninja?)

    Drugs Wars Chihuahua

    by prossor

    the dog has to raise a family down in tijuana but must contend with the druglords down there to appease them by occasionally smuggling in drugs in condoms inside his anus to the US border until he has enough money to migrate north until UH OH his family is kidnapped for ransom and he's forced to pay his hard earned drug money for their return but WOOPS they've dissapeared until their body parts are discovered in restaurant freezers. despite this bleakness the ending is like the Coens would do it, all profound and message-y, something like always make sure you know what youre being served if you eat in mexico.
