I just came from seeing this movie and LOVED IT! No it did not convince me to go out and get a chihuahua . There are a several parts of the movie that talks about NOT getting a dog as a fashion accesory, or dress them up...
Also at the end of the movie there was an announcement about the Humane Society and explaining the responsibility of dog ownership is a Lifetime commitment etc... There were little comments throughout the movie about this.
I saw George Lopez who does the voice of the brown Chihuahua named " Papi" on the Ellen show, George said that all the dogs in the movie were from shelters.
The brown Chihuahua was from a Shelter and he was going to be euthanized within 24 hrs. The producer or the dog trainer...not sure which .Wanted the dog.They did not give any guarantees that they would hold the dog so the guy slept outside the shelter that night and was there when the doors opened.He adopted the chihuahua and saved his life. The dog is now a trained dog actor...
I won't be surprised if this movie makes #1 or #2 at least in it's opening weekend. My husband LOVED the movie also. I usually start falling asleep during Disney movies but not this one!
