I honestly think that Hotel for Dogs (DreamWorks, 1.16) is a truly great title for a (presumably) cheesy movie — the best since Snakes on a Plane. Because as soon as I heard it I wanted to see this stupid-looking thing. On top of which it’s got Don Cheadle and Kevin Dillon in it. It obviously fits right into the besieged economic depression mentality that led to the success of Marley & Me, minus the death element. If I don’t get a screening invite I’m going to pay to see this.


The director of Hotel for Dogs is a guy named Thor Freudenthal.
