Ay Chihuahua! Silly, sometimes stupid “Beverly Hills Chihuahua” follows prissy Chloe on a journey through Mexico when she goes missing. On her homeward-bound trek, a friend will be made. Enemies two-legged and four-legged will give chase. And lessons will be learned about her tiny but noble breed and the power of her inner bark.

It seemed a dodgey undertaking: Tell a reverse-immigration saga about a dog breed often depicted with an iffy Spanish accent. But starring the voices of George Lopez, Drew Barrymore and Andy Garcia, “Beverly Hills Chihuahua” is more cluttered than offensive. Humans are played by Jamie Lee Curtis, Piper Perabo and Manolo Cardona. And as Papi the dog who tracks his beloved Chloe, Rusco — a rescued Chihuahua mix — is sure to bring new families to Humane Societies everywhere.
