Beverly Hills Chihuahua: Greatest movie ever made?
More like shittiest movie ever made! I saw the trailer for this movie and it just looks horrible. Who the hell in hollywood greenlit this piece of crap? It says that the movie is getting released october 3rd. I can already predict this to be on the top ten worse films of the year list. Heres a funny reaction video to the trailer:

I have an odd story about this one.
We were waiting in the theater before Wall-e and they had one of those interview/documentary type pieces on this. There were some bits with the stars and some clips from the movie. I definitely laughed a few times and thought it looked like a fun flick I might check out on dvd.
Then of course that trailer aired before the movie and accomplished 3 thoughts from me.
1) That makes the movie look completely different than what I just saw (and worse!)
2) If the movie is like that, as opposed to what I just saw, then who greenlight it?
3) If the movie is like what I just saw, who greenlight the trailer?!
Unfortunately I can't find any other trailer clips than what you linked, but I'd like to say I don't think this is going to be anywhere near as bad as that trailer. To cover my ass though, that doesn't mean it's still not going to be bad.

At least it isn't a live action and CGI mix starring Mike Myers. That would be trumpet call for the dead to rise and begin the zombie apocalypse that ends all life on earth.

The imdb plot summary says it all: "A teenager with an early onset of male-pattern baldness befriends his high school's janitor."
When all is said and done, Cuba Gooding's filmography will rival that of Pauly Shore. That Oscar seems so very, very long ago....

I just saw the trailer for this on TV. Seriously, how does this sh$t happen? How many excellent movie scripts get turned away while this dribble gets green-lighted? RIDICULOUS!

For this moment, however short it may be, it's technically at 100% on RT right now:

Unfortunately I will be seeing this piece of shit (or at least paying for it and then sleeping) since my 5 year old daughter talks non-stop about going to see it.

I'd rather go to Chihuahua, Mexico and shit my pants for a week.
Preferia ir a Chihuahua, Mexico y cagar en mis pantalones por una semana que ver este pedazo de mierda.

From an actual review. She compares it to "Roots". I shit you not:
"Sublimely silly and oddly poignant, Beverly Hills Chihuahua -- that's right, the one with the talking canines -- is Lady and the Tramp for lap dogs, Roots for pooches, Legally Blonde told from Bruiser's point of view."
