The takeaway is the huge amount of homeless pets roaming around to the naivety of the general public, the mutual benefit of positive adoption and good intentions of many folks. The plot developed fast and unevenly as if the director were unconcerned. Questionable segments included encouraging and promulgating criminal acts by juveniles (i.e. theft, assault, conspiracy to commit a crime) which seemed to be coated as heroic due to the subject matter. Hence, these acts likely raised the movie rating to PG. At the end of the day, it was a one-play movie with a simpleton script for the humans, with the dogs (and the dog trainers behind the scenes) doing most of the laudable work.

It is obviously a Disney movie with all the color and fashion. NO WAIT IT IS A DREAMSWORK MOVIE an EQUALLY talented studio. This movie was purchased as a gift to a 3year old who decided that all she wanted for her birthday was the “Doggie movie.” I rented this movie but since it was really fun for the whole family I decided to buy it for her since she love it so much. If you like animals or know someone that does…this movie is wonderful.In this film kids decide to take charge and help out animals specifically Dogs. The story goes a little like this: Emma and Jake are troubled siblings who keep one dog without anyone knowing, but consequently end up with dozens and dozens of stray, and shelter dogs. They so with a lot of work from their friends and Jake the inventor, make a topnotch Hotel for Dogs. A little unrealistic but for kids anything is possible. Don Cheadle and Lisa Kudrow have a small role but they perform it stylishly.Read full review
I thought the movie was very "kid friendly". There was no vulgarity, no sex scenes, and not as much violence as some movies. It had a good theme, and the underlying message was well done. The movie was about dogs, but really it was about those who are lost, with no family or possibly abandoned, both dogs and children. The thing I didn't like was the ways that the children took things to crate the Hotel for Dogs. It might show other children that stealing is permissible if it is for a good cause. They did have to face the consequences of their actions though. I purchased the movie for my nephew's 5th birthday. When he received it, I watched it with him since I hadn't seen it. I was a little hesitant about getting it for him since it was a PG rating, but now I am glad I did buy it. It was a cute movie.Read full review
Despite so bright spots whoever produced this movie blew a chance to make something great. Just poorly produced and almost incoherent. Sure glad I didn't waste the $ at a theater where they over cgarge enough to pay for a good meal!
