silly kids movie
23 August 2014
Aunt Viv (Jamie Lee Curtis) is going away and leaving her spoiled little dog Chloe (Drew Barrymore) to her irresponsible niece Rachel (Piper Perabo). They don't like each other. Gardener Sam Cortez (Manolo Cardona) has a dog Papi (George Lopez). Rachel has a last minute vacation in Mexico with her girlfriends Angela (Ali Hillis) and Blair (Marguerite Moreau). Chloe is dognapped into a dog fighting ring and joins in a mass escape led by Delgado (Andy Garcia). Rachel goes to Mexico City to find her while Sam comes to help bringing along Papi.

So this is a silly kids movie. The dogs are cute and actually funny sometimes. Everybody grows and learns some good lessons. However it never gets beyond being a silly kids movie, and there are some bad stereotyping going on. It becomes more annoying than touching. It's better than expected but that's not saying much.
