    A Must See for Any Animal Lover!!!!!! Best Movie on Air!!!

    I think that by seeing all of the sneek peeks of this movie, this is the best movie to ever go on air.
    This movie fetures Emma Roberts, a very good actress on Nickolodeon. This movie is a must see for any kid or animal lover. No matter what you are told about this movie, it IS the BEST MOVIE EVER!!!
    This movie has great effects, and much, much more! When you are watching the clips, you forget your even watching something recorded!! You feel loke you are actully there where it it happening.
    This movie is the GREATEST ANIMAL MOVIE EVER!!!!!!!!!!

    I liked it

    Well, if your not into kid movies your no going to like it. but i love all kinds of movies and i thought it was cute. Emma Roberts looks just like her anut it's not even funny. so anyway, i didn't think it was stupid and it had nothing to do or even close to Hotel rewanda like that other comment about the movie. I'm a dog lover and thought it was a cute disney movie. not all movie have to be blood,action and horror. This is a cute movie that i haven't seen in a while and i enjoyed seeing it was my family who also thought it was cute. It was not a bad movie like the other comments said so i suggest you see it to really find out for yourself if it's good or not!

    Dogs Dogs Dogs.

    I saw Hotel for Dogs awhile ago and the entire audience consisted of parents and their children. Lucky for them this movie was made strictly for the younger audiences as well as the dog lovers out there. The clever "inspector gadget" contraptions are extraordinary and generate tons of laughs. Hotel for Dogs is unrealistic, silly and adorable. This is afamily movie and is perfect for grade-schoolers. Take the kids if there's still time.

    Hotel For Dogs

    I took my 3 grandchildren to see the movie, and we all loved it! We all had our favorite dogs which included Friday, Lenny & Georgia, Cooper, and Sebastion and Viola, and the large doberman. The story was charming, emotional and delightful. We recommend it for all ages.

    A LOT Better than I thought it would be

    by

    I thought this would be an unconstructed movie with no plot, but the plot was actually well formed. It lasted long and was happy 90% of the time. Noone died. There was no villan, though there were people that were obstacles. It started out quick, ran long, finished right, and kept up to the Nickelodean Name: Very funny.

    Really Cute Dog Movie

    by hhamer

    Much better than anticipated. One has to realize the time and effort it takes to actually train all those dogs to do what they do... And for all those different dogs to get along... Alot more talent in those fourlegged critters than half the people in some of the other Movies. It is absolutely a great kid movie. As an animal lover it was good entertainment and I would probably watch it again when it comesout on DVD.

    Hotel for Dogs - Entertaining, But Be Prepared for The Sad...

    I took my twin 6 1/2 year olds to see this movie. They LOVED it! Both my children and my friends' children were belly laughing. There was a sad part that we were not prepared for. It brought us to tear. So, just be prepared. When my daughter started to cry, I told her it was a movie and would end happy. That seemed to do the trick! Luckily I was right! Great movie!

    Great Family Movie

    by kdmay

    This is a great family movie. Values such as loyalty and sticking together are thrown in with ideas and concepts against euthanasia shelters. The only problem about the movie was that it showed the kids stealing and disobeying their foster parents, going behind their backs, etc, and these actions are justified because they were following their heart and helping the dogs. All things right themselves in the end. The point of the movie is simple: All things will work out in the end if you do good deeds and follow your heart.

    All different ages enjoyed this Disney Family Movie

    Grandmother,10 year old (family friend) , 8 year old, 3 year old and myself loved it. The kids butts were glued to their seats and eyes were glued to the movie screen through out the whole entire movie ! My 3yr.old still talks about the movie. My 8 year old thought how cool it was to see all the stuff the children in the movie invented and the 10 year old family friend liked the story of the movie. Grandmother and I were amused to see how well trained the dogs were,and enjoyed the movie also. There are funny parts and there was a part in the movie that even got one little tear out of me. Will watch this again when the movie comes out on dvd.

    Hotel for Dogs

    My granddaughter (6 years) and I visited this wonderful movie. She laughed and I laughed and the audience laughed. This movie makes you want to go to the pound and adopt a dog. Emma Roberts plays a fantastic character of learning how to keep she and her brother together after loosing their parents. My granddaughter and I discussed the importance of going through life and sticking to doing the right thing no matter what (in a 6 year old conversation that is). Jake Austin's character is a little genius at creating machines and finding solutions to problems that will help he and his sister stay together no matter what. He is also very young. He tries to be very responsible, however, is dependent on his sister to carry out the more important roles while he concentrates on the daily maintenance of these canines' welfare. They cannot turn any of these animals away. We laughed, we teared, we awed and it is definitely a home library keeper. Great Fun!

    Great family movie

    by kcee3

    This movie was lots of fun. I took my 5 year old and although I laughed more than her, we both had a fun time. It's great to find a "clean" movie in which I didn't have to worry about covering her eyes. Very funny and entertaining.
