HOTEL FOR DOGS (2009)

“No stray gets turned away”

When their new guardians forbid 16-year old Andi and her younger brother, Bruce to have a pet, Andi has to use her quick wit to help find a new home for their dog, Friday.

The resourceful kids stumble upon an abandoned hotel and using Bruce’s talents as a mechanical genius, transform it into a magical dog-paradise for Friday — and eventually for all Friday’s friends.

When barking dogs make the neighbors suspicious, Andi and Bruce use every invention they have to avoid anyone discovering “who let the dogs in.”

Star(s) to watch : Emma Roberts as Andi, & Don Cheadle (”Swordfish”, “After the Sunset”, “Ocean’s Eleven”, “Volcano”) as Bernie.

Fact : Ivan Reitman is one of the box-office powerhouse filmmaker who produced “Space Jam” (1996), “Disturbia” (2007), “Beethoven” (1992), and “Evolution” (2001).
