One word keeps coming to mind when trying to describe this movie: "cute". "Hotel for Dogs" is a nice story of a couple of kids (Emma Roberts and Jake T. Austin), who are orphans themselves, dedicating their free time to rescuing stray dogs and giving them a home. Early in the film, we find the kids in their latest foster home with two parents who really want no part of them as they work on their rock band (Kevin Dillon and Lisa Kudrow, who provide the comic relief). Their social worker (Don Cheadle) is very frustrated as he is running out of homes for them to try. In the meantime, their dog gets out and they stumble upon an abandoned hotel where some stray dogs have been living. This gives them the inspiration to make it a "hotel for dogs". The movie overall is a very pleasant time to spend with the family and is a very warm film. There is nothing that particularly stands out, either good or bad. It is just a good, wholesome family movie.Grade: C+
