great family movie
Added 11/8/2009
Hotel for Dogs is not really just a childrens movie- adults can easily fall in love with a film like this as well. In fact, watching the film tonight my entire family WAS in love with the movie.
There's a couple things about the movie that separate it from being your typical/predictable family film. Even though the build up in the beginning of the movie might lead someone into thinking they'll know exactly what kind of story to expect (because, let's be honest- most dog movies are pretty muh the same) the fact that the film showcases quite a bit of creativity involving the dogs and their talents and behaviors plays an essential part in making Hotel for Dogs a near classic.
What's amazing about the film is how there must be over 20 different breeds of dogs, each with their own personality being given a fair amount of time. Surely enough time for you to fall in love with whatever breed tickles your fancy the most.
You can tell these aren't ordinary dogs either- the dogs showcased in Hotel for Dogs display a distinct talent and discipline that certainly shows they were trained quite hard before the film. Alright, so the film DOES mainly focus on one dog (the small white one) but the other dogs get a pretty impressive amount of attention as well. As you probably know, most dog films tend to focus on one dog while the rest of the dogs serve as small background material, or filler. Hotel for Dogs stands apart from your ordinary family dog movie with the many dog varities being featured, and I admire that.
Anyway, enough rambling. This film is GREAT! It's about a bunch of dogs that live in a rundown apartment building unbeknownst to everyone living around the area.
It's an extremely good movie. I'm honestly surprised it turned out to be *this* good because the movie writers obviously devoted more time to this movie than most writers would. So much attention was given to each individual dog... I'm just amazed by that.
Big dogs, small dogs, heavy dogs, cute dogs and one VERY ugly little dog that's extremely funny, haha. I love the variety.
The story also focuses on the two kids who discovered the dogs, both foster kids going from home to home and never actually settling in one place.
Hotel for Dogs is mostly a fantastic film because it mainly focuses on the dogs who run around acting crazy, doing funny and silly tricks, and the storyline has a lot of creativity dealing with the kids who fix up the apartment and make it suitable for dogs to feel comfortable living there. I recommend this movie to absolutely everyone, especially dog lovers. It's funny, cute and great.

Hotel for Dogs

The story of two underdogs helping numerous underdogs and winning after trials that would make an adult quit trying. I enjoyed this family movie and would recommend it for any animal lover.
