Plot Synopsis

Based on the book by best-selling author Lois Duncan, “Hotel for Dogs,” stars Emma Roberts, Jake T. Austin, Lisa Kudrow, Kevin Dillon and Don Cheadle in a smart, funny comedy adventure that shows how far love and imagination can take you. When dynamic siblings Andi (Roberts) and Bruce (Austin) find themselves in a foster home with a strict “no pets” policy, Andi has to use her quick wit to help find a new home for their dog Friday. Despite warnings to stay out of trouble from their sympathetic social worker Bernie (Cheadle), the kids stumble upon a derelict hotel and begin transforming it into the perfect home for Friday and all the strays in the city – running the risk of being separated if they’re caught. In no time, the kids have transformed the old hotel into something truly magical: a home for both the dogs and for themselves.
