Plots(1)
Family comedy adventure which sees two orphans deciding to rescue a city's stray dogs. Arriving at a foster home with a 'strictly no pets' policy, 16-year-old Andi (Emma Roberts) and her younger brother Bruce (Jake T. Austin) realise they'll have to find a home for their dog Friday. On a trip downtown, the kids discover an old disused hotel that would be ideal for their needs. When they discover some of the local strays have already made it their home, they decide to take it one step further, turning the hotel into a refuge, and pleasure palace, for every stray mutt they can possibly find. But all the activity soon brings them to the notice of the police and the local dog-catchers, who valiantly, if stupidly, try to close down the operation. (Paramount Pictures AU)
(more)Reviews (1)
A pretty good film, but unlike classics like Home Alone, only children (and die-hard dog lovers) can enjoy it. Adults will be bored and probably even wonder why the hell the filmmakers have to inject that annoying toilet humour into everything. Plus points for Debney's music and for the entertaining Lisa Kudrow.
