Our town's summer "movies in the park" series has begun. Though Hotel for Dogs has been out for a while we still hadn't seen it. I packed popcorn and sodas and took the kids to the park. We were the 2nd family to arrive - I guess we were a bit early. The movie didn't begin until it got really dark outside, which was approximately 8:30 p.m. The lightning bugs were out in droves, which was cool to be able to see them fluttering around in the darkness.
Anyway, it was an "ok" movie though I expected much better from a Disney movie. The premise of the movie - though good-hearted - is weak, and the whole movie feels very contrived. Don Cheadle's character was believable, but, imho, his talent was totally wasted. I totally hated Lisa Kudrow's character as an unfit foster parent. I guess it must be hard for good parts to come by since "Friends" ended. The kids enjoyed the movie, and after all is said and done, that is what matters. 9200
