Review by Todd Gaines ★★½ 26

When their owners leave for the day. The pets come out to play.
Yup, this is a movie. All I remember is there's a fat pussy, a large wiener, a piggy covered in tats, a croc, a snake, some angry bird, a punk rock poodle, an illusion to an orgy, a dog in a wheelchair, stupid humans, silly cellphones, literally, a sausage party, sewers, NO SLEEP TILL BROOKLYN, dog piss, bunny shit, Kevin Hart going all Boyz n the Hood, a boat, a hairless kitty, dog kisses, water, and murder talk.
If you're seven, go see this. Nothing stands out when it comes to the animation. Zootopia walks all over this one. Fuck, I pretty much forgot the movie already. Forgettable fluff.

This is already dated because it has a scene in Central Park and there weren't hundreds of berks trying to catch a Vaporeon.

30/100
The Secret Life of Pets doesn't work as a movie. If you want to debate the basics, I can indeed confirm it is a series of moving images projected digitally to a crowd of human individuals, all varying in height and weight, but that's besides the point. A cinematic feature should at least maintain that standard. But beyond a rhythm of construction, of pure movie tissue, The Secret Life of Pets fails as soon as the training wheels are taken off. Even the prolonged marketing - utilizing the first five minutes of the film as their template - couldn't make sense of it, probably because they realized that any sort of narrative progression or character development is nonexistent besides…

Review by DirkH ★★ 7

So in the Netherlands we do this weird thing. We throw chocolate sprinkles on our bread. Don't ask me why, we just do. We smother a slice of bread with butter so the sprinkles will stick, pour a mountain of chocolate sprinkles on top of it, cover it with another slice of bread and Bob's your uncle, sandwich heaven according to us Dutchies.
I remember only having the option of pouring dark chocolate on my bread when I was a kid. Later we got milk chocolate and even later still we got the epitome of chocolate sprinklyness, a mixture of white and milk chocolate. It was a luxury of Michelin star proportions.
And then the Funnies came.
A Funny is…

sympa (qui peut résister à des animaux mignons?) mais le scénario est assez basique et sent le réchauffé... (et pourquoi la scène des saucisses?????)

Review by emma1920 ★

I'm sorry. This movie trailer was SO deceitful. Wish I hadn't watched the whole thing.
Review by marina ★★★

I must admit this is a very good children movie, Illumination always make a great job with a good design and good stories. This story is not the best one (almost adult pov) as it has already been seen : cats and dogs struggle with a situation, rabbit is a mean one, the cute type animal falls in love with the « leader », and everything gets better at the end. I got bored watching the movie but my point does not make it a bad animated film !
