I'll admit it while I'm writing my review that I'm an animal lover. Who isn't, right? Especially where the main characters are dogs.
"Hotel for Dogs" tells the story of two young siblings who are orphans moving from place to place and having foster parents. The siblings are Andi (Emma Roberts from Nancy Drew) and Bruce (Jake T. Austin from Wizards of Waverly Place) who are up to no good as they deceive a pawn shop owner of a box displaying a brand new phone when inside its a rock while their dog, Friday, tries to get something to eat while being tied up. The kids are eventually caught and picked up at the police station by their foster aid Charlie (played by Don Cheadle) who likes them and vouches for their behavior but doesn't know if he can put up with them any more after their stunts.
The kids foster parents are no help either. Lisa Kudrow (Friends) and Kevin Dillon (Entourage) play the dead beat foster parents whose dream gig are to be singers and perform in front of a large audience and live off the rock n' roll life instead of worrying about the kids and being like "normal" parents and give them their needs.
Things change for Andi and Bruce after their dog has gone in the streets later to be taken to the pound where the animal control treat both the kids and their dog with disrespect before freeing the animal after Andi bribes the head guard. They later run from the cops in fear of being frame for a crime they didn't commit where their dog hides inside an abandoned hotel building where other dogs occupy the place. And then it hits the siblings that a hotel should be created for the stray animals just before recruiting a few more people including a guy that Andi has a crush on and yet he doesn't know her secret about being an orphan.
I liked the concept of "Hotel for Dogs" where stray dogs can stay inside a hotel without wondering the streets; the innovated gadgets are a riot showing the techniques for dogs to use the restroom along with recreating a dining room for both the humans and dogs to eat. It's harmless fun and something for the family to enjoy. If you're an animal lover, you should love this too.
As I mentioned, if ever a possible sequel were to take place or a spin off, how about "Hotel for the Homeless Humans?" Huh? Sounds catchy where two young siblings use an abandoned hotel to help homeless people find shelter rather than live the streets or having a time limit in other shelters to kick out the old and bring in the new homeless people, and they don't even have to leave where the cities are clean and safe and the kids running the joint might place that in their college application.
Nice suggestion, huh? Just a quick thought.
