Leave your thoughts about Hotel for Dogs.
| L.A. WeeklyElla TaylorIn the department of small mercies, the dogs don't talk, but the human dialogue is as stale as the characters bathing in love-the-family-you're-with pathos. |
| Cleveland Plain DealerJulie WashingtonHotel for Dogs delivers warm messages about generosity and sticking with seemingly impossible goals. There are worse ways to spend a winter afternoon than with this amusing comedy. |
| E! OnlineLuke Y. ThompsonEven the normally reliable Kudrow can barely disguise her contempt for the material. |
| LarsenOnFilmJosh LarsenIt may not be Hotel Rwanda, but Don Cheadle does bring a nice dose of compassion to Hotel for Dogs. |
| San Francisco ChronicleWalter V. AddiegoIt's no great shakes as a film, but its combination of mild comedy, slapstick, pathos, many photogenic canines and a positive message will make it irresistible to families. |
| New York PostKyle SmithKids will be as enthralled by this film as you were by the live-action Disney movies of the '70s. It doesn't get any sweeter than a roomful of mattresses with kids and dogs jumping on them. |
| Miami HeraldConnie OgleA lively, funny, imaginative film that should appeal to kids and their pet-loving parents. |
| San Francisco ChronicleWalter AddiegoIt's no great shakes as a film, but its combination of mild comedy, slapstick, pathos, many photogenic canines and a positive message will make it irresistible to families. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekCute and rambunctious and not a little old-fashioned--it's like an old Disney live-action comedy from the 1960s, but with better effects. |
| Chicago ReaderAndrea GronvallA bright, funny family movie that gets everything right, from story to production design to cast (both human and canine). |
