(1 - 19) of 19 OFCS Rating: 68% Fresh Page   1   "Canine charmers fill the screen in 'Hotel for Dogs,' but the heartwarming relationship between a brother and sister gives this movie its greatest appeal"   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker C- "The dogs carry the film appropriately, perhaps even outacting their human costars. Especially Cheadle, who should really have a long conversation with his agent about his future in worthwhile film roles."   BrianOrndorf.com   Brian Orndorf 3/5 "You'll admire the doggie tricks and tolerate the rest, which is both the best and worst thing that can be said about it."   DVDTalk.com   David Cornelius 2/4 "...unapologetically geared towards younger viewers..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 2/4 "Unpolished, undernourished and inconsequential, Hotel for Dogs is mediocre, at best. You watch it, you wait for it to be over, and you go about your day without giving it another thought."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman 2.5/4 "There isn't a malicious bone in the film's body."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez B- "Cute and rambunctious and not a little old-fashioned--it's like an old Disney live-action comedy from the 1960s, but with better effects."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 3/5 "A fetching and funny family film with special appeal to dog lovers."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat "Parental Content Review"   Screen It!   Jim Judy 2.75/5 "The film goes to the dogs. They don't steal the scenes, they are the scenes. They bring so much personality that it's hard for any of the actors to compete, even the kids."   School Library Journal   Kent Turner 2.5/5 "Hotel for Dogs gives the mutts plenty of personality, but every so often, the story has to fling back into the lives of the kids. That's when I'd lose interest."   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr C "Beverly Hills Chihuahua may not be comic gold, but it at least tried to throw in some entertainment for the adults in the crowd."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford "[C]harmingly silly, sincerely sweet... feels much more like the classic, gentle family films of the 1970s we grew up with than the slapstick grossouts that pass for kids' films today..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 2.5/4 "While it is not uncommon for Serious Actors to lighten up and make a film their kids can see, it is nonetheless jarring to see someone on the level of Don Cheadle turn up in a January-released, kiddie animal programmer."   TheMovieReport.com   Michael Dequina B "Cute kids cuter dogs = one doggone cute movie."   Beliefnet   Nell Minow 3/5 "Although it's not quite as consistently engaging or funny as it could be, this doggy adventure has moments that grab the imagination"   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline C+ "Not bad. It is funny and touching at times, even though the premise is pretty close to impossible."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten B- "Adults will see the huge plot holes that pepper Hotel for Dogs but the filmmakers know that the real audience, the youngsters, won't care."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 3/5 "Hotel for Dogs" is naturally attractive because of the sheer number of dogs in the film, suitable for any dog lover such as myself..."   Film Threat   Rory L.
