Synopsis

Adapted from author Lois Duncan's 1971 children's book of the same name, director Thor Freudenthal's Hotel for Dogs follows two mischievous orphans as they attempt to hide dozens of stray dogs in an abandoned hotel. Disheartened by their new guardians' announcement that pets are strictly forbidden, 16-year-old Andi (Emma Roberts) and her younger brother, Bruce (Jake T. Austin), race to find a home for their loyal dog Friday. Fortunately for Friday, there's an abandoned hotel just around the corner, and Bruce possesses just the kind of mechanical smarts needed to transform the rundown inn into a four-star retreat for canines. For a while, Friday and his friends have it made, but when the neighbors start to get suspicious, Andi and Bruce resort to every trick in the book in order to prevent their secret from being discovered. Don Cheadle, Emma Roberts, and Lisa Kudrow star in a family-friendly film penned by screenwriter Jeff Lowell. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Posted by: from Massachusetts on 10/01/2010My kids love this film and watch it over and over. If you are looking for state of teh art cinemetography and special effects - not the film for you. If you are looking for a movie to sit and watch with the kids on a rainy afternoon, put on some popcorn and watch on !!

Posted by: from Shreveport, LA on 05/08/2009As the mom of a 7 year old pre-vet, this movie was by far one of the better live action kids movies I have sat through. The storyline was predicatable but each dog had a personality and that is what made the movie. Even after months have passed since seeing this movie in the theatre my daughter still laughs at the personalities and remembers the dogs by name. Good theme, things may not be the best for you but sometimes you need to look at how bad it is for others and your own situation might be improved. Behavior of children not as far fetched as some movies portray as ok...I have bought this one for her and recommended it to other parents.
