If you loved The Smurfs, try Beverly Hills Chihuahua
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Beverly Hills Chihuahua has roughly 3.6× fewer votes than The Smurfs — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Raja Gosnell, and they both carry the cozy, playful mood tags, and they sit in Adventure / Comedy / Family territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Smurfs, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Beverly Hills Chihuahua is
Mexican streets, vendor calls, a diamond collar. A pampered dog lost, a group of strays gather, a dognapper lurks. This lighthearted comedy is best watched with kids on a lazy Sunday.
