Double bill of canine adventures. In 'Beverly Hills Chihuahua'
(2008), when pampered chihuahua Chloe (voiced by Drew Barrymore)
gets lost while holidaying in Mexico, she is forced to rely on the
kindness of various dogs she befriends as she tries to get home
before she is captured by a villainous dognapper. Also in pursuit
of Chloe is male chihuahua Papi (George Lopez), who is in love with
her, and evil Doberman Diablo (Edward James Olmos), who has his eye
on her valuable diamond collar. In 'Underdog' (2007), after an
accident in the mysterious lab of mad scientist Dr. Simon
Barsinister (Peter Dinklage), an ordinary beagle named Shoeshine
(voice of Jason Lee) finds himself with extraordinary powers, and
the ability to talk. Armed with a fetching superhero costume,
Underdog vows to protect the beleaguered citizens of Capital City
and, in particular, a beautiful spaniel named Polly Purebred (voice
of Amy Adams). When a diabolical plot by Barsinister and his
overgrown henchman Cad (Patrick Warburton) threatens to destroy
Capital City, only Underdog can save the day.
Candid, outspoken, laugh-out-loud funny essays from the much-loved
Samantha Bee, the Most Senior Correspondent on The Daily Show with
Jon Stewart .
Critics have called her "sweet, adorable, and vicious." But there
is so much more to be said about Samantha Bee. For one, she's
Canadian. Whatever that means. And now, she opens up for the very
first time about her checkered Canadian past. With charming candor,
she admits to her Lennie from "Of Mice and Men"-style love of baby
animals, her teenage crime spree as one-half of a car-thieving
couple (Bonnie and Clyde in Bermuda shorts and braces), and the
fact that strangers seem compelled to show her their genitals. She
also details her intriguing career history, which includes stints
working in a frame store, at a penis clinic, and as a Japanese
anime character in a touring children's show.
Samantha delves into all these topics and many more in this
thoroughly hilarious, unabashedly frank collection of personal
essays. Whether detailing the creepiness that ensues when strangers
assume that your mom is your lesbian lover, or recalling her
girlhood crush on Jesus (who looked like Kris Kristofferson and
sang like Kenny Loggins), Samantha turns the spotlight on her own
imperfect yet highly entertaining life as relentlessly as she
skewers hapless interview subjects on "The Daily Show." She shares
her unique point of view on a variety of subjects as wide ranging
as her deep affinity for old people, to her hatred of hot ham. It's
all here, in irresistible prose that will leave you in stitches and
eager for more.
