'Hotel for Dogs' isn't a masterpiece of cinema. It's not expected to be. What it is though is a perfectly enjoyable hour and a half film that has a good heart and good performances from all involved.
It's got some decent laughs in it too, thanks to some good adult talent like Yvette Nicole Brown and Lisa Kudrow, who seems to be specialising in stealing films from the side-lines these days.
Of the two young leads it's probably Emma Roberts who grabs the most attention, displaying the talent that has seen her go onto bigger and better things.
There is a lot of dross produced in terms of kids movies, poor animations or live actions with no charm. This however bucks the trend, and hopefully will be enjoyed for generations to come.
