Hotel for Dogs

Hotel for Dogs (2009) is a family comedy you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Thor Freudenthal. Sixteen-year-old Andi and her little brother Bruce land in a foster home with one firm rule: no pets allowed. Giving up their dog is not an option.

The kids stumble onto a way out — a crumbling, abandoned hotel sitting empty downtown. They sneak their dog inside, rig up clever contraptions to feed and walk him, and before long every stray in town starts showing up at the door. The place fills with barking, muddy paws and runaway mutts, and keeping the whole operation hidden from the grown-ups and the cops gets harder by the day.

Emma Roberts and Jake T. Austin lead the cast, with Don Cheadle, Lisa Kudrow and Kyla Pratt rounding it out. It's a warm, easygoing story about resourceful kids and the animals nobody else wanted. Stream Hotel for Dogs (2009) online on iFILM.
