HOTEL FOR DOGS
Starring Emma Roberts, Jake T. Austin, Lisa Kudrow, Kevin Dillon & Don Cheadle.
I thought this was a really cute movie & I'm really not a dog lover. But as you watch, it really is more about family and looking out for one another. Sister & brother Andi & Bruce are living with yet another foster family (Lisa Kudrow & Kevin Dillon) and they are not allowed to have any pets. Their dog "Friday roams the streets of New York and returns in the evening.
Friday ends up at the pound and big sis bails him out with all the money she has. On the way home, Friday runs into an abandoned hotel. Andi & Bruce follow and discover Friday has made some friends of his own. With the help of some friends, Andi & Bruce start saving dogs all over the city and open a "Hotel for Dogs".
Lisa Kudrow pretty much plays a mean version of "Phoebe" & Kevin Dillon is funn as the rocker, dim-witted husband.
I am a huge fan of Don Cheadle & was surprised he'd be in a movie like this but as usual he does a great job as the social worker.
Good family movie, Haleigh liked it.

I haven't seen it but it looks cute. I know the first thing I need to see is 17 Again. But really it wasn't playing in Williamsburg.
One movie you need to see that is on DVD now is Taking Chance with Kevin Bacon. We saw it when it was on HBO. Highly recommended.
Taking Chance...was that with his son getting murdered & he goes out on rampage about it?
We recently watched a Kevin Bacon movie, but I can't remember the name of it.
Erin, have it in my queue!! Yes, I still haven't forgiven you for not seeing 17 Again!! :(
Sharon - no, Kevin Bacon is a Marine (I think) and takes home a fallen soldier. It was based on a true story.
Sue - I know. There is no reason for you to forgive me. If you want to come watch the kids, I'll go see it :)
You two:
I'll go see it w/ you, Erin, and Sue can watch BOTH of our kids. Both sets. Whatever.
Let's just hire Haleigh.
You BOTH couldn't afford Haleigh!!!!!!! by the time Haleigh starts sitting, she'll be charging $10 an hr. :) (sorry pat!!)
