Feel Good Film For Child Dog Lovers
Not really worth paying £5+ per person to see at the cinema (Luckily I got the tickets free though a Pets At Home promotion). Its a film that should have really just gone straight to dvd. It could have been a fantastic film, as its got a great storyline - a hotel for stray dogs run by a few kids. But it just didn't hit the spot. At only 1 and a half hours long, I got the impression it was aimed at young children under 8, rather than dog lovers of any age.
The dogs were very cute, and extremely well trained, and there are a few laughs here and there. The acting was good also. I thought it was worthy of 3/5 stars.

Hotel for Dogs
- 09 Feb 2009
Dogs seem to be a big box office attraction these days. On the heels of Beverly Hills Chihuahua and Bolt, and just a nose ahead of Marley and Me, Hotel for Dogs is another shaggy family entertainment for the easily led. Andi and Bruce (Emma Roberts and Jake T. Austin) are a couple of strays themselves, orphaned siblings who are currently housed with foster parents Carl and Lewis Scudder (Kevin Dillon and Lisa Kudrow) – their fifth set in three years. It’s not a warm relationship.... Read more
