I’ve tried to go to see the Beverly Hills Chihuahua three times since the movie came out, but alas, the Chihuahua is stronger than La Macha. I can’t do it, I just can’t. I want to be able to see the movie, and offer a valid critique of it, but everything about it makes my teeth set on edge. For example, this is the blurb about the story:

Drew Barrymore is the voice of Chloe, a high-maintenance, pink-bootie-wearing Chihuahua with a hovering celebrity owner (Jamie Lee Curtis). When her careless dog sitter (Piper Perabo) takers Chloe to Mexico, the pooch is kidnapped by a dog-fighting ring. But in this pup’s harrowing quest to return home to the Hills, she ends up finding her inner bark.

So, all the leads are white folks, right? But watch the trailer:

Where are all the white folks? For some reason, watching the trailer, I get the idea that the movie is about George Lopez for.

Could Disney be using Latinos to justify a racist movie that plays on tired stereotypes? But if it is, why on earth is every Latino under the sun in the damn movie? Does Latino Hollywood need jobs that badly??

I can not watch the movie to give some answers–maybe my dear VLatinos can?
