Movie Review: Hotel for Dogs

When 16 years old Andi and her younger brother, Bruce find themselves in a foster home with a strict no pets policy, Andi has to use her quick wit to help find a new home for their dog Friday. Despite warnings to stay out of trouble from their sympathetic social worker Bernie, the kids stumble upon a abandoned hotel and begin transforming it into the perfect home for Friday and all the strays in the city running the risk of being separated if they're caught. In no time, the kids have transformed the old hotel into something truly magical: a home for both the dogs and for themselves.

"Hotel for Dogs" stars Emma Roberts, Jake T. Austins, Kyla Pratt with Lisa Kudrow, Kevin Dillon and Don Cheadle in a smart, funny comedy adventure that shows how far love and imagination can take you.

I first spotted Johnny Simmons (extreme right) in "Evan Almighty". Thought he was cute then, it was a surprise to see him in this show. Johnny Simmons is set to become one of the most sought-after young actors in Hollywood. Hailing from Texas, it did not take him long to get his first role in "Evan Almighty". For as much as I know, he currently resides in Los Angeles. Let's hope he don't grow up and turn into some ugly person like alot of child actor gone bad.

And this is the main star of the show i would say. How can anyone resist this movie? especially the dog lovers. Of many difficult movies to film, I would say one of the hardest is one with animals as the stars. It take really trained dogs to do those cute litte movements or actions we want them to do. As a non-dog lover, I will recommend anyone to go watch this. The dogs in the show are really cute and I love the idea of a Hotel for Dogs.

A light-hearted movie of fun and laughter, with moving tears as well. Watch it for a good laugh. Definitely leave the cinema smiling.
