Ummmmmm........ I really hope that poster is a gag. Thanks for the warning Foolish Mortal LOL. I will be sure not to catch this if it is real.

Unfortunately, it's no joke. The previous title for this movie was "South of the Border". Drew Barrymore voices a pampered lapdog separated from her owner in Mexico and befriended by local mutts. It was in the Hollywood Reporter last year.

It's Look Who's Talking Now with the added corney Disney plot of "self centered protagonist learns a valuable lesson" about something or other. :icon_roll The worst Disney cliché. I was hoping Disney was getting past this hokey stuff. :frown:

Yeah when I saw the poster and then saw the Disney logo the first thought through my mind was "you're kidding, right?"

*sigh*

*shelves it with Snow Dogs*

Ok.... does this even deserve a DVD release :p? It looks like an Indy 4 but with Chihuahuas...

I think the poster is meant to be ironic, not to actually reflect the story. Here's Coming Soon's plot summary (http://www.comingsoon.net/films.php?id=20903):

In the Disney comedy, "Beverly Hills Chihuahua," a pampered Beverly Hills Chihuahua named Chloe (voice of Drew Barrymore) finds herself accidentally lost in the mean streets of Mexico without a day spa or Rodeo Drive boutique anywhere in sight. Now alone for the first time in her spoiled life, she must rely on some unexpected new friends including a street-hardened German Shepherd named Delgado (voice of Andy Garcia) and an amorous pup named Papi (voice of George Lopez) — to lend her a paw and help her to find her inner strength on their incredible journey back home.

Can you imagine the pitch for this movie?
"It's The Incredible Journey meets Clueless."

OH god this sucks. Yes i guess this counts as an original idea, but whats with all the animal movies? Kung Fu Panda, now this?

^ That happens when the studio only focuses on Pixar hehe...

[Kileli]

ooooooooooh boy. It's going to get bad reviews, and no one will see it. Yet Disney doesn't learn...

Pixar doesn't have lots of animal movies. Lets see... Finding Nemo, and Ratatoullie, thats about it. Now dreamworks is the one cranking out animal movies.

Everyone loves animals!

Oh well, let's see.. Here's the trailer (don't watch if you don't want to be spoiled for the biggest movie event of the year LOL): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iO7B5XOsn7w
