Look, we all have those moments when we need to park the kids in front of something safe while we make dinner or take a work call. Beverly Hills Chihuahua 3 is technically that thing—it's harmless, it won't give anyone nightmares, and it has a nice message about self-esteem buried somewhere in there.
But let's be real: this is a third direct-to-video sequel that scored 4.4/10 on IMDb and 2.5/5 on Letterboxd. Even by kids' movie standards, that's rough. The talking dogs schtick was already tired by movie two, and this one just phones it in harder.
If your 4-year-old specifically requests it because they saw it on Disney+, fine. But there are dozens of better options that are just as safe and actually, you know, entertaining. Even Bluey episodes have more heart and creativity packed into 7 minutes than this entire 90-minute slog.
The WISE score reflects reality: it's safe and somewhat wholesome, but it's also creatively bankrupt and barely enriching. Not harmful, just... why bother?
