Movie Review: Beverly Hills Chihuaha

Fall is the time when the studios roll out their more prestigious pictures. The summer blockbuster season is over, so it's time for the movies that will likely be up for many awards. Tonight, I got a start on an early Oscar contender with this epic and moving story about . . .okay, enough.

Read the title. This is a kids movie. Do I really have to explain what it's about? A pampered mutt from Beverly Hills gets lost in Mexico City, yada, yada, everything ends up fine in the end.

It actually wasn't half bad, in fact, quite a bit better than I was expecting. With the kids movies, you can get something that's fairly good and at least is guaranteed to have good content (Disney), very good (Pixar) or total manure (not any particular studio, but movies like "Underdog" come to mind).

We saw this at the drive-in, and about froze. I think there were about 20 cars total spread out amongst the three screens. It was really cold. Which reminds me. Did you hear about the two blondes that froze to death at the drive-in? They went to see "Closed for Winter."
