The chihuahua movie looked so stupid, I don't even want to go see it. :\
Love is all a matter of timing.
It's no good meeting the right person too soon or too late.
If I'd live in another time or place...
...my story might have had a very different ending.

From the previews, and plotline, I would say it's pretty safe to assume that the movie is a waste of the film it was shot on.
Disney is really trying to take a nose-dive... I bet Walt would be impressed. <img src=\'http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/s ... lleyes.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':rolleyes:\' />
