Hotel for Dogs stars Emma Roberts, Jake T. Austin, Lisa Kudrow, Kevin Dillon and Don Cheadle in a smart, funny comedy adventure that shows how far love and imagination can take you. When their new guardians forbid 16-year old Andi (Roberts) and her younger brother, Bruce (Austin) to have a pet, Andi has to use her quick wit to help find a new home for their dog, Friday. The resourceful kids stumble upon an abandoned hotel and using Bruce's talents as a mechanical genius, transform it into a magical dog-paradise for Friday – and eventually for all Friday's friends. When barking dogs make the neighbors suspicious, Andi and Bruce use every invention they have to avoid anyone discovering who let the dogs in.I am an admitted movie addict. The rule basically is that if I see the preview for it - I have to see the movie. God bless Stinka because if it wasn't for her I don't know how I would justify seeing this Nickelodean movies. What am I going to do in a couple of years? Anywho, this is your textbook family movie with kids and animals in it. The dogs are cute and funny. The kids have to stick together through the rough times and there is the inevitable happy ending. If you have kids - take them to see this. If you don't - run for the hills.
I wouldn't remotely recommend this movie to anyone without kiddies. The kiddies will love this movie though so if you have them you should definitely rent this. Stinka gave it a huge thumbs up.
