Beverly Hills Chihuahua: Movie Review


Synopsis


A pampered Chihuahua accustomed to the living the good life in glamorous Beverly Hills must rein in her heiress instincts and rely on the kindness of strangers in order to find her way back home after becoming hopelessly lost in Mexico. Chloe (voice of
Drew Barrymore) is a diamond-clad toy dog who favors traveling in her wealthy owner's purse over frolicking in an open park, and Papi (voice of George Lopez) is the kind of independent pup that she doesn't afford a second glance. When a vacation mishap leaves Chloe stranded in Mexico, the Chihuahua who doesn't speak a lick of Spanish must rely on street-smart German shepherd Delgado (voice of Andy Garcia) to guide her back home before she wanders any further south. Meanwhile, brave Papi races to the border intent on proving his love for Chloe by tracking her down and escorting her home in style. Along the way, Papi is joined by an enthusiastic pack of helpful pooches (voices of Luis Guzman, Plácido Domingo, and Eddie "Piolin" Sotelo) a pair of concerned humans (Piper Perabo and Manolo Cardona), an anxious iguana (voice of Paul Rodriguez), and a crafty rat (voice of Cheech Marin). -

We rented this movie for family movie night. 'D' got to pick it out. We got all the kids their bowls of popcorn, their juice and a candy they got to pick out at the store. The second their snacks were gone, so were they! Turds!

King Baboon and I sat and watched the whole thing. It was cute, although also creepy. I have issues when they make animals start talking and movie their mouths, it's just not right!

I wish I could tell you the boys review on it, but they would not be honest because they didn't watch more than 1/2 of it! Therefore King Baboon and I give this movie 3 out of 5 stars!

Hey Punky Monkey's, I want my money back from the cost of this show, since you all flaked on your parents! Is this a sign of things to come?
Until next time...
Happy Reading!

Children's Books: A new Adventure, plus a trip down memory lane.

Tonight at bedtime, I will be taking the boys on a new adventure, while I take a trip down memory lane. How so, well let me introduce you to one of the all time best children's book series of all time, I am certain you have heard of them...




While cleaning out the garage a few weeks ago, I found my copy of this book, and just knew it needed to be bought back to life! No more dark, cold box for this book... oh no, this book is going to take my boys on a new adventure. One where things were not measured by the things we owned or processed, but by the love we had in our hearts!


I will have to get the other copies from the library when the time comes, I didn't see them in the box.


If you have kids, what series have you read with them from your childhood? If you don't have kids, what series from your childhood holds a special place in your heart?

P.S. I do have to laugh at the first sentence of this book...

"Once upon a time, sixty years ago....."

Lot longer than 60 years ago now!! HA HA HA


Until next time...
Happy Reading!
