Review of The Secret Life of Pets (2016) by Eva B — 15 Oct 2016

This was a movie that I really did not want to waste my time on, it was exactly what I hoped it wouldn't be. It makes me wonder if there is a name for films that have the hero attempting to return home as if its the hardest thing to do.

Like that is my least favourite kind of movie and that is exactly what this was. I am also not a dog person so maybe they should have just called this movie what it really was:DOGS, so I wouldn't of had to see it.

The voice acting was actually really annoying, the other animals really weren't that important. The movie also falsely advertised itself. The name makes it sound like there is some amazing life that pets live that we don't see but we really didn't see anything special.

You could argue that Kevin Harts character and his cronies had a pretty interesting life but technically they weren't pets. The way they made it though was kind of like Toy Story in the fact that it was about two male leads that were fighting for the affection of there owner and ultimately got lost in the process, while also leading a different life than what their owner thought they lived.

This movie was unoriginal, unfunny, and was probably just made to appeal to children who like buying merchandise. The only saving grace was the Hawk Tiberius who was actually quite entertaining and the animation was sort of cool.
