Lady and the Tramp this isn't. We get a mini-travelogue, moderately accurate, of off-main-street Mexican culture and scenery.
There are several sub-texts, including dog-kidnapping rings and dogfighting, but nothing graphic. This is a very bland film, very little to trigger a parent's 'inappropriate!' radar. If they meant to make a safe picture, this is pretty safe. I watched Beverly Hills Chihuahua on a Digital screen - the photography was very good. The staging of the animals was generally excellent.
But the story line is astonishingly young. Like, maybe toddlers. Early toddlers. I don't mind paying to see this, but I won't need to see this one again.
