From Papi’s Love Poems to Delgado’s Trauma Dump

Lets start by showing y’all the trailers shall we?

📖 Non-Spoiler Plot Overview

The sequel drops the Aztec warrior lore (probably too expensive) and swaps it for “puppies and family values.” Chloe and Papi are now parents of five mischievous Chihuahua pups, and chaos ensues as they try to raise them. There’s also a subplot about helping humans save their house from foreclosure — because what kid doesn’t love dog-centered economic anxiety?

But then… the movie blindsides you with Delgado’s backstory, and suddenly the family comedy takes a hard left turn into emotional damage.

👥 Character Rundown

Papi (George Lopez, voice): Now a dad, doubling down on over-the-top monologues about love, family, and destiny — but mostly embarrassing his kids.

Chloe (Odette Yustman, voice this time): Retired from Aztec temple adventures, now full-time mom wrangling five chaotic puppies.

The Puppies: Each one has a “thing” (the shy one, the hyper one, etc.), basically doggy Power Rangers.

Delgado (Andy García, voice): The cop dog who helps out… but his past comes back in a big, heartbreaking way.

Villains: Some goofy bank robbers who feel like they wandered in from Home Alone 4.

⏱️ Pacing / Episode Flow

Lots of puppy chaos, some slapstick robber nonsense, family drama, and then — boom. Delgado trauma bomb right in the middle. The tonal whiplash is real.

✅ Pros

Puppies. Always a win.

Delgado is still voiced by Andy García, giving gravitas to lines about barking and chew toys.

Some moments are cute and harmless enough for background watching.



—

❌ Cons

Delgado’s backstory is way too heavy for this movie.

House foreclosure plotline drags.

Papi’s dialogue has crossed into full-blown telenovela parody.

The villains are forgettable.

💭 Final Thoughts

This movie could’ve been just “Papi’s Wacky Chihuahua Family Sitcom,” but instead, it smacks you with Delgado’s tragic backstory: he abandoned his puppies while working as a police dog, and they grew up without him. Watching him confront this — and hearing the whimpering pups — feels like emotional sabotage in a film that also has fart jokes.

It’s depressing, and honestly, it doesn’t belong in this movie. You walk away less entertained and more bummed out.

⭐ Rating

3.5/10 – Less “family comedy,” more “family therapy session.”

⚠️ Spoiler Warning

The puppies do cute stuff. Delgado does not.

🐕 Spoilers

The plot juggles two things: Chloe and Papi wrangling their litter of pups, and the humans struggling to save their home. Along the way, Delgado reunites with his long-lost sons, who grew up without him after he left them during a police mission. The moment they recognize him and the pups whimper? Brutal. Out of nowhere, you’re sitting there wanting to cry in the middle of a goofy Disney dog movie.

The film ends with the family saving the day, Delgado reconciling with his kids, and everyone celebrating — but the tonal clash leaves you shaken. You came for Chihuahua hijinks, and instead you left with unresolved canine trauma.
