It seems like a movie like this requires a reviewer to be upfront about their pet situation. I take care of a tarantula and teaching him to fetch has been tough. With that out of the way, The Secret Life of Pets is certainly a film that will tap into many things pet owners can somewhat relate to in the film’s opening moments. The rest of the movie plays like a mix of Toy Story and madcap adventures seen in old Chuck Jones cartoons. This kind of lunacy has been the general tone of films from of Illumination Entertainment and while this one is humorous, I wish there were better attempts at being clever.
