Synopsis

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.

Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
everywordYouspeak 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.
Amy Adler Sondra (Anya Benton) is a type-A weight loss consultant who lives in the Los Angeles area. Therefore, Hollywood stars are sometimes her clients, as well as other folk. But, personally, she has big problems, mostly because she focuses on herself 95 percent of the time! Her fiancé is fed up with her and so is her long-suffering personal assistant, Jeannie (Renee Pezzotta) who puts up with stuff to save her job. Jeannie, a widowed mother with two young children, also has a darling chihuahua, Bella, who she is hoping will become a therapy dog through training. One day, Sondra is impossible and soon after, she receives a visit from an old school friend. Though they were once close, this pal hardly recognizes Sondra and decides to do something about it. Through magic, she puts the diet lady's mind in Bella's head, while her body goes into a coma at the hospital. From a canine's perspective, will Sondra see the error of her ways, especially her treatment of Jeannie? You bet! This is a cute, pleasant film for families but never goes from good to great. The stars are fine, with Benton a very pretty actress and Pezzotta quite touching, while the supporting actors do nice work, too. But, its obvious from the start that the movie is a more low budget affair, with the camera work very average and the script, costumes, sets, and direction nothing to write home about either. However, since the darling little dog Peanut plays Bella to perfection, the film moves along and charms in a small way. If your loved ones are animal-movie fans, they will like this one just fine.
helledu1957 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".
peanutandpixie This movie is a great family film with a wonderful message. There was no profanity or violence of any kind in the film. The cast appeared to play very well off of each other. It was a good cast without the big names. But do not let the lack of big names sway you from seeing the film. It didn't need them. I even found myself with a tear rolling down my cheek at one point during the film. Bella, the Chihuahua, was cute as could be and appeared to have soulful eyes. It was also great to have a film show a bit about therapy dogs and the visits they make to children at a hospital. A little side fact: the Chihuahua playing Bella is a much loved family pet in real life and this was the pups first film.
