I mean, its garbage isn't it. You don't need me to tell you this. The low rent sequel to a film that was already pretty rubbish. . . But at least it's true to itself. There is no pretence to it.

Chloe (Odette Annable) and Papi (George Lopez) have married, because that's a thing, and have a litter of puppies. . . . that much of the plot I do remember. There is also some business about Sam's family losing their home as well and some nonsense about Delgado (Miguel Ferrer) having sent his kids away, because that's a thing too.

The plot is terrible, generally the actors (even the voice actors) from the original have left and been replaced by cheaper alternates, and the visual effects are poor. The story is inconsistent as to it's own logic regarding dogs and their owners. It's a bad film, is what I am saying to you, there is no getting around it. It exists purely because Disney had learned how to do this effect now (not well, but still) and because the original made a staggering amount of money.

But, like it's original, at least there's none of the vomit inducing earnestness that I'm getting from a lot of the "dog-based Disney films" I seem to be stuck watching at the moment. It knows that it's a cheap cash grab and just settles for that and you know what, I can almost respect it for it - almost, but not quite - because, as previously mentioned, it's a terrible, boring and unfunny time.

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)

They changed the actor/actress for the aunt, the niece, papis owner, and Chloe! That's 3/4 of the main characters and they act like nothing happened! The movie is a good movie still but i just couldn't get over the fact that all actors but one were changed

Talking dogs are weird but you can gloss over it easily, but seeing their mouth move as they talk is bad and creepy. Didn't find the comedy to make me laugh, but I couldn't stop smiling when the puppies were introduced. I love dogs and they were so cute. Good puppies.

I bought the Blue-ray combo pack and it is definitely worth it. It is a fun filled comedy even better than the original. Even though the idea of talking chihuahua's might be a little weird to adults it is a heartfelt story that the whole family will love. I would recommend it to any movie lover looking for a good movie to have fun with. At 83 minutes it is the perfect size for kids and adults alike. Even though a sequel was a doubt at first i would not be surprised if this became a classic. Although there are some sad scenes the children will laugh all day long. Finally the chihuahua puppies make a great new addition to the series. I hope you watch it!

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.

Fun - Silly - but fun

Just a silly movie about Chihuahua parents raising their pups to be honest citizens.

Not a movie to 'think' about but just the right level of fluff to keep human parents and children entertained for awhile.

Good guys & bad guys keep the story going.

There really isn't much a review can say about this type of flick -- you have to be the sort of person that likes movies with talking dogs on a sleuthing mission that turns out to be most positive.

Give it a look for very light weight entertainment!

Papi (voice of George Lopez), a chihuahua belonging to a gardener, and Chloe, who belongs to rich Beverly Hills businesswoman Aunt Viv (Susan Blakely) get married! This after they fell in love in BHC 1. Soon, they have a family of 5 darling little puppies, too. Meanwhile, Aunt Viv's niece and the gardener have also fallen in love but there may be complications. So, no ring yet. The gardener decides to take the whole family of chihuahua's to his parents' home in Mexico, so they can meet the pack and so he can get advice on affairs of the heart. While they are there, unhappy news arrives at once. The parents are going to lose their long-held family home unless they can pay the back mortgage payments. The pair got behind when the father was injured and unable to do his landscaping job. What are they going to do? In fact, before long, the whole caboodle are thrown out, due to the puppies creating havoc on the house and the loan officer. Everyone troops back to the USA and Aunt Viv's home to think. Fortunately, there is a dog show in Beverly Hills that week and the prize money would get back the Mexican house! Can Papi or Chloe win? Also, they once again meet up with Delgado, a friend from the first film, who needs the huahuas help as well. Will things work out? Of course! Bow Wow Wow, what a darling film! This viewer loved the first one and found this one equally fun. Some of the cast members have changed but, thankfully, Lopez is still here to do a great Papi. Also, French Stewart, Emily Osment, Morgan Fairchild and others lend their talents, too. The scenery is wonderful, as are the costumes, photography, script and sure direction. My advice? Turn any down-in-the-dumps-day into a great one by renting or buying this lovely film!

Cute story for kids. Personally I was glad Drew wasn't the voice of Chloe this time around. Also glad Delgado was back to be part of the story. Like a lot of sequels that aren't super big, most of the actors are not the same as the first movie. My daughter noticed but wasn't too disappointed. I felt like the actors in this one weren't great at all. The actor who plays Sam started out a little rough but got better as the movie went along. I guess for the kids though it's more about the animal actors which she thinks are pretty awesome. Heck I'm pretty impressed too. Overall though, the movie was pretty cute. Had some cute little one liners in there for everyone. I do enjoy that each movie has a mystery to it. Not many movies for little girls have much of a mystery to solve. The ending made me happy. Not dreading having to watch the 3rd one with her. Haha.

One of the very few sequels to improve on the original. The almost entirely new cast fits into this film so effortlessly. Right from the very first shot the film is incredibly watchable. I've seen it 14 times just 3 times less than the 3rd film (my favourite in the franchise).

This is a movie about chihuahuas but it's also about taking pride in your cultural heritage even when you feel out of place. It's also a grounded reflection on the concept of family both chosen and blood relative.

It's a good, the story is good, comedy is fine, action is great, and the dogs are pretty cute and great actors! Overall this is a great movie, with a good story, good action and comedy.

Chihuahua are cute really cute and the story and plot is boring i only watched it for the chihuahuas.
