Hotel For Dogs is made for dog and Disney lovers - provided they can stomach its numerous dog poo jokes.

Emma Roberts (niece of Julia Roberts) and Jake T. Austin play orphaned siblings who are miserable with their latest foster parents (Lisa Kudrow and Kevin Dillon). When the kids stumble upon several stray dogs hiding in an abandoned hotel building, the kids quickly bond with the mutts.

After all, the two have something in common with the dogs - no one wants them…

Directed by Thor Freudenthal, Hotel For Dogs is pleasant, inoffensive, Disney-style entertainment. But anyone yearning for cinema than transcends shopworn formulas should certainly stay away.
