no bueno
SnoopyStyle24 April 2020
Papi (George Lopez) and Chloe with their chihuahua family, and friends live comfortably in Beverly Hills. Their humans, Rachel and Sam, go to the luxurious Langham Hotel for job opportunities. The jobs fall through but hotel manager Hollis sees Chloe as the perfect face to sell the hotel as a new dog friendly destination.

I like Papi's jealousy of Chloe's new importance. Rachel's new job has some interesting aspects. Everything else is an ugly mess. It's a bad sequel to a cheesy franchise. This should have been an European Vacation sequel anyways. This is cheap and stupid. Unless you're a doggie fanatic or a non-verbal baby, there is nothing here for you.

Mercifully, I've now completed the fabled "Beverly Hills Chihuahua" trilogy. Odd as this seems to say, I do think that they saved the best one for last, though I would still argue that this is awful. It has one scene that I thought was, at least, passible.

For reasons I never quite understood Sam (Marcus Coloma), Rachel (Erin Cahill) and their various puppies move into a struggling hotel. Sam takes a job as a gardener, Erin as a Chef and Chloe (Odette Annable) as the hotel's mascot. The hotel though has a problem, a more illustrious hotel nearby is poaching their customers . . . . and I'm sure there are other things going on . . . One of the puppies doesn't like puppy school, or something... Honestly, who cares?

That this one has a plot, even one I can't really remember only a few days later already makes this a better film than the risible first sequel. Erin Cahill returns although because of reasons, Rachael moved on from being a socialite, to a . . rain forest researcher (?) . . . And is now a Chef apparently. Sam at least is consistent in his job. Frances Fisher throws a bit of credibility to the rest of the cast, and Kyle Gass shows up in a minor role.

It's mostly dreadful, obviously. The performances poor, the visual effects work on the "talking" is increasingly sketchy and jokes are risible. All except for one scene in which they audition bands for a party (or something... again who cares). The auditioning dogs are puns based on existing bands, and some of them, along with a scattershot list that is ran though afterwards, was occasionally, very nearly, actually amusing.

I'm still not totally done with Disney dog movies, I know, I still have to watch them go into space and a bunch of other terrible ideas, but hopefully, following this dire series, I've earned myself a little respite.

Happily forever after
ITALUKE21 February 2022
This was the best of the 3 movies, mainly because of the ending. I enjoyed the human scenes, but in a movie about talking dogs they are not the main focus. The music bands part made me smile but seeing the dogs use music instruments was weird. And also the australian dogs barking instead of singing because american dogs couldn't understand them made me question about the lore of the movies. For example how we see dogs move their mouth to talk, do humans see that too? Btw I appreciated the female dog in this movie more than the puppies. Good girl.

Weird
alice-dukesohazzardfan24 March 2021
I've seen the first two movies and thought that they were okay. This one took things too far and got really weird. The first two movies kept the dogs acting realistic for the most part. This one has chihuahuas standing on two feet, CGI arms playing instruments acting as our hosts. Chloe's owner seems to have disappeared. Now, we have a generic hotel story. This movie was unnecessary and too weird even for kids to enjoy.

Not as good as the last two
lisafordeay7 May 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Beverly Hills Chihuahua 3 is the last of the franchise starring the actors from the 2nd film(with George Lopez being the only actor to star in all 3 BHC films).

Papi and Chloe, joined by their five playful pups and their owners Rachel (Erin Cahill) and her husband Sam move into a posh Hotel called Langham, which is also complete with a luxurious doggy spa for their pooches.

But the smallest of Chloe's litter Rosa, the littlest member of the pack, feels left out.

Now it's up to Papi to help his daughter Rosa to find her inner strength, which turns out to be bigger than she has ever dreamed.

Silly film but the dogs make up for it.

Boring

This is simply a hard to watch movie. It seemed like forever having to sit through this garbage. Maybe I'm being too hard on a kids movie, but there are great enjoyable kids movies and this is far from being one of them. One criticism I have for this movie is that it tries too hard to be Mexican. The fact that Papi had to chose the mariachi band just bothered me. There isn't much going for this movie at all

Masterpiece
gavino-5933527 September 2017
I have never seen a movie handle a plot and its characters with such grace and authenticity. As I was watching this modern art piece by myself in my Grandfather's shed at 2:00 AM, I realized something. Life is a very fragile thing. We live and we die. Time will consume us and our lives in the blink of an eye. If there is a God, he forsake us long ago. I ponder on the very existence of God and myself in this world I live in. I scream into the shadows of my existence every night. No one hears me. God never answers. No one answers. I am a cog in the machine. An extra in the background. I am nothing. This movie is all I have. This movie gives me hope. This movie takes me to a world where I am valued. A world where God still loves us and cares for us. This film is proof that God exists. This faithful adaptation of the Shakespearean tragedy Macbeth will leave you in awe from start to finish. I believe that this movie can be a catalyst for the World's issues. All the conflicts we have, all the anger and violence can be stopped with this film. Please for all that is holy, watch this film and enter a world that we as people belong in.

This is the true gem of the BHC franchise
dnmhxm28 October 2021
This is easily my favourite film in this series and it's easy to see why. The cast mostly carry's over from the second film along with new characters including the Immeasurably likeable Kyle Gass in a surprisingly on brand role. It continues the themes of cultural appreciation and the value of family both born and chosen but with a new vibrancy. New friends and villains who may just be friends we don't know well enough yet. Along with these philosophical ideations is and incredibly funny music sequence wich serves as a vehicle for almost 15mins of dog/music puns.

Only for viewers who want to be entirely delighted.

Really good I like how they did that.

Papi and every dies.

I'm really saddened that this was funded by blood diamonds.

My dog looks just like Paris gf and my skrim character I was playing skyrim earlier and it was fun.
