Good Pets!

Rating: 8/10 (10 September 2016)

It is no secret that the animated flick "The Secret Life of Pets" hit box office bonanza. And why not? It was a fun movie about the crazy antics that happen to pets once their owners leaves their cribs. Our main dog here is Max (voiced by Louis C.K.), who becomes very jelly when a new dog Duke (voiced by Eric Stonestreet) joins the household. Max and Duke first duke it out for main pet ownership of the house; but then zaniness follows and they have no choice to team up and try to defend themselves against an evil anti-human stray animal clan led by a vociferous bunny named Snowball, brilliantly voiced by Kevin Hart. There are many more Pet Shop Boys in the picture that provide opportunity for laughs; including other dogs, a parrot, cats, etc. So I am not going to pet you more plot points and let you fetch this movie for yourself. Sure, there are some scenes that are over the top with slapstick outrageousness, but "The Secret Life of Pets" still deserves a viewing feeding. **** Good
