Andi has to find a home for their dog, Friday. She and Bruce discover an abandoned hotel with some dogs living there. In no time at all, Andi and Bruce transform the hotel into the perfect home for Friday, and all the other strays in the city. The ritzy Hotel for Dogs attracts the attention, however, of the neighbors and the suddenly out-of-work dogcatchers, who want to know, Who let the dogs in?

HOTEL FOR DOGS is a delightful, playful and funny family movie. It also ends on a positive note that promotes family. The child characters, however, sometimes do things like challenge authority, con people and steal to help stray dogs. They suffer the consequences, but there is no real repentance. The movie has no foul language, though there is some mild scatological humor regarding the animals. All in all, HOTEL FOR DOGS is charming family entertainment, but some scary, sad moments require caution for younger children.

Content:

(BB, V, MM) Strong moral worldview promoting family but marred a bit by orphaned children challenging authority, stealing and conning people, which is not fully punished or rebuked; no foul language, but some scatological humor regarding housebreaking dogs; some relatively light comical and slapstick violence such as big dog chases little dog (which may scare younger children), dog catchers capture and imprison dogs and pratfalls; no sex; no nudity; no alcohol; no smoking; and, stealing, breaking laws and conning people out of money is not rebuked completely.
