Uncomfortably violent

Rating: 3/10 (10 July 2016)

The premise was so good, and I loved the character development throughout, as well as the love demonstrated between pets and people. The character development was also where all of the humor was for me. I loved watching Max and Duke and Gidget's individual personalities and styles and preferences; they were so cute and funny and of course, adorable!
Too bad this was all overshadowed by a level of violence that was base and all but humorless from my perspective. It seemed the violent chases that included everything from chaos on the road to physical animal battles were included only as fill time for the movie; the level and amount and intensity of the violence really detracted from the plot in my humble opinion, and made me wish I hadn't brought my 3 yr old to see the film.
