'Chihuahua' surprisingly harmless

By Roger Moore
McClatchy-Tribune News Service

'BEVERLY HILLS CHIHUAHUA'

• Rating: PG for some mild thematic elements.

• What it's about:

An obscenely pampered pooch is dognapped in Mexico and must make her way back to Beverly Hills.

• The kid attractor factor:

Talking dogs of every stripe.

• Good lessons/bad lessons:

Size doesn't matter when you're "tiny but mighty," and don't judge a Mexican by his appearance.

• Violence:

Slapstick stuff, and the threat of dog fights.

• Language:

Disney clean.

• Sex:

Chihuahua flirtation, Beverly Hills babes in bikinis.

• Drugs:

None, though there's bar hopping.

• Parents' advisory:

Surprisingly inoffensive, considering its setting, with a few nice messages about tolerance and judging people and dogs hastily. Suitable for all ages.
