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

    by clemsonj9

    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

    by rudyrod1

    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.

    by Daydream

    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.
