This is a movie review for "The Secret Life of Pets", released July 08, 2016. I watched this via Netflix.
Trailer
Cast
Louis C.K. - Max (voice)
Eric Stonestreet - Duke (voice)
Kevin Hart - Snowball (voice)
Jenny Slate - Gidget (voice)
Ellie Kemper - Katie (voice)
Plot
Pets don't necessarily act as good as you think they do when you leave (to go to work or shopping or whatever). They also might be doing something that you can't imagine while you are away, leading a secret life you don't know about.
Max is a dog owned by Katie. He tries his best to be a good boy while she is gone, though he misses her super lots. One day, she brings home a dog from the shelter. He is Duke, a massive dog compared to the little Max, and he doesn't really share well with the little one. Max thinks his life is completely destroyed so he tries to find a way to get rid of Duke, which accidentally gets him into more trouble than he expected. How can he get home before Katie does?

Rating Criteria
0/5 – No value whatsoever. Absolute waste of time.
1/5 – Barely worth any time.
2/5 – Pathetic but has a bit of something to hold the attention a little.
3/5 – Somewhat kept the attention but could definitely have used more.
4/5 – Good, but not awe-strikingly amazing. Could have maybe used a bit more to the movie.
5/5 – Go see it! Wonderful movie all around. – characters, music, theme, story line, etc.
3/5 - I thought it was a good story but the abandoned pets in the sewer hurt me more than anything, especially their leader Snowball. Rabbits grow up and need to be adopted (not thrown out). To see a cute rabbit being an evil leader against the main characters put me out. As a rabbit lover (and Bunny Mama), I cannot approve of this movie for Snowball. Sure, he gets a home in the end but the girl might abandon him later too since she's a little girl, but that's how life goes...
I was disappointed in this movie because the trailer that I saw was not so intense as the actual trailer. It showed more of a "the pets are mischievous while you are gone, but only at home" kind of light. The movie and the trailer above are more serious than that. It was almost a "Homeward Bound" kind of movie, but set in a day. If the movie had been like this following trailer, I would be raving about it (though it may not have done as well in the theaters).
Also, the sausage factory was TERRIBLE! What the heck?! That really knocked the rating down. And logic regarding Snowball driving the bus....
