Beverly Hills Chihuahua: YIPE! YIPE! YIPE!
So has anybody seen the trailer for Beverly Hills Chihuahua yet? If so … I’m so sorry.
And lest anyone think I’m being unconscionably mean to a kids’ movie, rest assured, I am not alone. The New York Times wrote this very amusing story about the mortified reactions several people have posted on YouTube.
One aspect the story doesn’t go into detail about is who made this masterpiece to be. The director is Raja Gosnell. He has more than a passing familiarity with cinematic dogs, having directed both Scooby Doo movies. (I’ll let you decide if that’s a double entendre or not.) The cast includes Drew Barrymore, Salma Hayek, George Lopez, Cheech Marin and Edward James Olmos, who should all know better.
One of the writers is Jeffrey Bushelll, who has written TV shows like Zoey 101 and What I Like About You. The other writer is Analisa LaBianco, who has no other credits, so I’m going to guess she’s 3 years old and needed Bushell to get her ideas in script format.
This is my favorite of the YouTube reactions. Clip may be NSFW, depending on your boss’ tolerance for bleeped language.
Comment away, if you’re still conscious after seeing the trailer.
