not really a movie I want to see, but I am so glad to see Jamie Lee Curtis doing movies again, since she swore up and down in 2005 that she was finished

The previews of the Chihuahua movie look awfully cute. I'll probably wait & rent it when it comes out on dvd though.

Congrats to some of my favorites...Piper Perabo, George Lopez and Jamie Lee Curtis!

I know! I love her.

My friends and I might see it, looks cute.

As a former owner of two Chihuahuas, I'm a little bit biased--but I'm dying to
see this movie. But I'll have to wait for the DVD; the nearest theater is too
far away from where I live (out in "the boondocks").

I own 2 Chihuahuas, Snuggles and Cuddles, so I'm DYING to see this movie! It looks so cute!
