Hotel for Dogs | Rotten Tomatoes (2025)

Audience Reviews

Audience Member Huge part of my childhood.Hotel for Dogs is a charming and heartwarming family comedy about two siblings who turn an abandoned hotel into a safe haven for stray dogs. The film is full of fun and inventive moments, with adorable dogs and lively performances, particularly from Emma Roberts and Jake T. Austin as the resourceful siblings. While the plot is predictable, the movie’s lighthearted tone and positive messages about compassion and responsibility make it an enjoyable watch for kids and families. It’s a feel-good film with plenty of laughs and heartwarming moments. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/28/25 Full Review Joseph H It alright, dogs were cute and thank god they didn't talk. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/03/23 Full Review Steve D Cute enough but strictly for kids. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/09/23 Full Review Chris M The concept is interesting, if a tad like a sitcom premise. But the movie falls into the trap of foster parents are always abusive assholes addicted to something and doesn't care about the foster kids other than the money the government sends. It's a negative stereotype and cliché. Speaking of cliché the other main villains is a pair of dog hating dog catchers who gets to excited about dog murder. I don't think even in 2009 animal control wonders the town looking for strays. I think they have to be called if you think a dangerous or stray animal is in your area. Lastly, it drags in the middle and of course poop jokes. But thankfully they keep the poop off screen. Overall, it's cute and funny and is pretty good. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/15/23 Full Review Audience Member What da f**k.. I mean, it’s better than Thor 4, I guess.. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/12/23 Full Review Kervin K Is it: Cheesy? Predictable? Formalistic? Yes!Yet, it is a fun & creative family and kids movie that our son loves to watch over and over again with his love for animals and of course dogs. High production value with a great mix of visuals music, and sound. An uplifting story of teen empowerment with an orphaned brother and sister and their love of helping homeless dogs. Cheesy? Yes! But with a good mix of actors and Hollywood production value, it is great for a fun family movie night! Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/30/22 Full Review Read all reviews
