While the lead characters are likable and interesting, there are too many characters, which are not as fleshed out and some of them not in the film enough to make impact, and the film feels over-populated as a result.Īnd while a vast majority of the film is incredibly entertaining, not all the jokes work in the final third, being not as well-timed and being a bit too obvious and childish. Starting with 'The Secret Life of Pets', while much of the story is charming, beautifully paced without feeling rushed and entertaining, it does run out of steam in the final third where it does drag a bit and feels overstretched. Not a great film, but a very enjoyable one. Reviewed by TheLittleSongbird 7 / 10 Much to enjoy here It starts off amazingly.then quickly loses momentum Overall, an uneven film that becomes somewhat tiresome after a while. That's one of the reasons I loved "Minions"- because it was less wedding to plot and more to fun and silliness. This will sound weird, but the film was much better when it had little in the way of plot.

Instead of being cute like the film had been, it tries to get edgy and it misfires and is not really appropriate for young kids. The notion of human-hating animals living in the sewers and stealing dog pound trucks is pretty lame.and unappealing.especially when they talk about murdering people. Once the two dogs, Max and Duke, got lost.so did the story. However, the film simply did not maintain this momentum. I was very impressed with this.as well as watching all the various pets acting like pets. The opening sequence is simply breaktaking-with some of the best CGI you'll ever see.

While I am thrilled that the studio decided to do something other than yet another sequel, "The Secret Life of Pets" is a highly uneven movie. "The Secret Life of Pets" is a very successful film from Universal, the same folks who brought us the "Despicable Me" franchise.
