Chihuahua: The Movie
Sondra Wellington (Anya Benton) is bossy, controlling, and extremely unpleasant. But everything changes when a special friend from Sondra's past transforms her into Bella -- her assistant's loveable little Chihuahua. While Sondra lives as Bella, her real body is in a coma. In order to gain access to the hospital, Sondra must prove that she has what it takes to be a therapy dog. As she learns the tricks of the trade, she becomes more connected with the people around her and realizes her past mistakes. It appears that Sondra is finally ready to turn over a new leaf in her own life --that is, if she ever gets the chance.

Fantastic!
Absolutely Fantastic
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
I gave this 2 stars because my 5 year old twins liked the dog. This movie is awful... Not just low budget, but truly terrible. The acting is so bad, there are these awkward moments where it starts to feel like softcore porn with dogs & kids in place of porn.... I'm not sure if peanut the Chihuahua was in charge of makeup but that's really the only explanation I can offer for the over done smoky eye + dark lip color (porno) look that appears to have been applied with a paw. There's a duet featuring two of the most unpleasantly peculiar voices I've ever heard, set to a montage of clips that have nothing to do with the song and only offer to confuse viewers even more, as though trying to follow the plot weren't bad enough. If you appreciate a great bad movie, this one does not fail to deliver. Chihuahua: The Movie is equal parts unintentionally awful, creepy and weird. Emphasis on awful.
Recently, I had the rare privilege of coming across the unrated of this film, and I must say: the director's cut is one of the more subtle additions to filmmaking's canon. The opening scene sets the tone as a gritty, emotional psychological thriller, as the main character Sondra sits in a colorless room as an anonymous doctor speaks her worst fears to her, in a suitably dark psychological metaphor for the ill feelings the main character has for herself. These themes flow throughout the film as Sondra faces the true question of life: how do I define my identity? If I am a dog, am I still myself? Sondra comes to terms with not knowing the answers to her questions and decides that whoever she is, she is going to be better than she was. And by God, with the help of an uplifting and catchy original score, she succeeds. The film is magnificently acted, joining Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo and Orson Welles' Citizen Kane as Oscar's greatest omissions. In fact, with such glaring absences, such as this masterpiece, in their roster, I'm surprised the Academy Awards retains any credibility at all. Anya Benton's scene where she first discovers and subsequently comes to grips with the fact is now a chihuahua is pure Oscar bait. I hate to keep going about this, but I can't believe the Oscars overlooked this gem.In conclusion, Chihuahua: the Movie was smartly written, sharply acted, and inspirationally directed, providing an intelligent allegory for our tumultuous economic and political crisis. Ten stars.
I was sent a copy of the DVD as a screener only, to possibly show on our new airline on long trips to Hawaii.This film although done as a low budget, has some great writing and a great message. The characters were well developed and Bella was of course adorable and very talented. Her little costumes were so cute and the children inter-acted with her well.The adult characters were well mixed, with some romantic, mystical and heartfelt traits to enhance what might have turned out only to be a children's film.By the end of the story, my emotions kicked in and there were tears in my eyes. I'm a true romantic and everyone deserves a second chance.
I was able to pre order the movie and I just loved it! "Chihuahua: The Movie" is a charming, heart warming family movie for all ages. Peanut, the little Chihuahua was so cute and is sure to touch everyones hearts! I love the message that is brought across for all of us to learn by. My daughter, Amber played the role of Gail and she acted her part so well, considering she had to be so angry in her scenes. I am very proud of her for making it so believable. Everone was awesome in the movie. Congratulations to Michael Amundsen for directing a great movie and everyone behind the scenes that were involved in making "Chihuahua: The Movie".
