Funny Start... but PAINFUL middle and angry bunny damages film overall

Rating: Null/10 (23 March 2019)

The first 20 minutes where we get to meet the characters (pets) and their families has some excellent writing and funny animal to human relations insights. The characters and story start off great and Louis CK strikes the perfect balance of the main dog voice. However, the film "jumps the shark" with the introduction of the absurd set of angry and fake characters with Kevin Hart's Snowball bunny. Snowball is angry, mean, and a total distraction. Terrible writing and direction here. These characters hate humans and have evil and totally unfunny intentions. Without this unwatchable middle section of angry and mean pets, the film has a great vibe and worth a watch. I've seen it about 100 times because our 4-year old loves the beginning and ending. We often skip Kevin Hart's Snowball and the middle section of the film.
