Hotel for Dogs

Hotel for Dogs

Who's in it: Emma Roberts, Jake Austin, Don Cheadle
What's it about: After going through several foster homes, Andi(Roberts) and Bruce(Austin) have found their new home almost worst than the rest. The 16 and 14 year old haven't been able to stay in one home too long. When they begin to rescue strays from the street and house them in an abandoned hotel, the police start to get on their tail. Their social services officer, Bernie(Cheadle), finds them another home but that is 3 hours away. The duo want to stay close to their canine friends. It's up to them to make sure the dogs aren't put to sleep at the pound.

What I Think: I know that some of you might be thinking that this is such a childish movie, but it was really good. I believe that movies that star animals are full of true talent. The acting wasn't great, but I must give Roberts props! I liked her clothes most of the time. As for the dogs, they were great. So much time and treats went into training these pups! It was surprising how much they could learn and be able to do them. There was one part of the movie where I could see a string tied to a prop and a dog and I thought it was hilarious. Sometimes they need a bit of help!
