‘Hotel for Dogs’

When orphaned siblings (Emma Roberts, Jake T. Austin) try to find a place to hide a dog from their foster parents, they stumble onto an abandoned hotel that three stray dogs are already using as home.

Running time/rating: 1:40; rated PG for brief mild thematic elements, language, crude humor.

What they’re saying: “A laughless, gadget-geared and poop-obsessed kid comedy based on a Lois Duncan book, it will sorely test any parent hoping to have a few laughs with the kids and make it home without a side trip to the Humane Society.” – Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel.
