Doggone It!

Last night Jim West and I went to the first of two "Hotel For Dogs" movie premieres at Tinseltown. I had a zero expectation of this movie going into it. After all kids movies are not exactly my thing and the trailer didn't really hit me as "must see movie".

Now, if you have tickets for the Thursday night show I can guarantee one thing your kids are going to love it! It's a cute romp featuring just about every breed of dog imaginable. It features two foster kids that stumble on a condemned hotel that houses a few dogs. Wanting to care for them as best they can they construct feeding machines, door knocking and doorbell devices to keep the dogs occupied, and a very nice waste disposal unit...if you catch my drift. As the dogs add into the mix so do the caretakers as if I remember correctly 5 kids keep this place afloat without anyone knowing. If you are a "Friends" tv show fan watch for a nice supporting role by Lisa "Phoebe" Kudrow which seems to be been written for her.

Now don't go expecting the best in writing and cinematic perfection. If you want that then i'm sure you will want to see "Gran Torino" with Clint Eastwood. But if you want a movie that you can take the whole family too without having to worry about language and content then this movie is absolutley perfect! I don't think I heard one bad word in the entire movie. It is good family entertainment!
