PETS with a lot FUN but lacks HEART

Rating: 8/10 (26 August 2016)

Just a gist of the story* which I honestly think you've all seen in the trailer already, if not probably on E!
The film centers on a dog, Max, whose owner decides to take home another dog, Duke, which startles him. They basically go on a journey of finding their way back home, after getting lost due to their conflict. Max's love interest, Gidget, then teams up with Max's other friends to try and find him.
Along the way, Max and Duke meets an anti-human group lead by a cute- but really deceiving rabbit (played by the comedian Kevin Hart). -- so on and so fort.

REVIEW PART: basically what you need to know if you want to watch this film.
POSITIVE: 1. This film is hilarious! I mean, I'm 20 and I found this story really cute, interesting and entertaining (in general) 2. The jokes are more a combination of smart-dialogue based jokes, semi- dirty jokes and visual jokes (like your typical show and not tell type of jokes where the character stumbles in a funny way). 3. THE SPECIAL EFFECTS in totality is so good - the film's visually amusing. 4. The world it creates it really great. 5. It's concept is something someone out there would've probably thought of already, nonetheless, fresh. 6. All of the characters give you reason to love them. 7. The RABBIT + MAX'S LOVE INTEREST = 2 BEST THINGS ABOUT THE FILM.
NEGATIVE: 1. Some jokes are, too me, a bit green for the film to be G-rated. It seems like the writer forgot for a moment who his audience is. 2. IT COULD'VE GONE DEEPER. I'm not asking for a Big Hero 6 or UP kind of emotional scene or writing, but at least give us something to remember besides the cuteness of the characters. They could've given us something we'd take home and tell our friends about or a quote we could tweet. I don't know what exactly they could've done, but the film could've honestly been better if the filmmakers gave it a more emotional side to it. 3. Half-baked. The main arc (or plot) is there but the smaller plots seem confused onto what they really want us to comprehend. They have an end goal, and that's the only thing that matters (that the two pets get their way back home).
IN TOTALITY, if you're looking a film to watch just to have fun and fill your life with cuteness then go watch this film! But if you're expecting something that will make you cry, then this film is not for you. It really won't make you teary.
