What it's about: An obscenely pampered pooch is dognapped in Mexico and must make her way back to Beverly Hills.
The kid attractor factor: Talking dogs of every stripe.
Good lessons/bad lessons: Size doesn't matter when you're "tiny but mighty," and don't judge a Mexican by his appearance.
Violence: Slapstick stuff, and the threat of dog fights.
Language: Disney clean.
Sex: Chihuahua flirtation, Beverly Hills babes in bikinis.
Drugs: None, though there's bar hopping.
Parents' advisory: Surprisingly inoffensive, considering its setting, with a few nice messages about tolerance and judging people and dogs hastily. Suitable for all ages.
