Its fine, but not fantastic

I think this is a common theme for Illumination these days, but the Secret Life of Pets delivers an experience that I can only describe as "Yeah, it was. . . decent." Its cute, well-animated, nicely voice acted, and delivers a decent experience of fun gags here and there, but its probably boring for anyone over the age of maybe 10.
That's not to say that you'll HATE it if you're any older, but believe me, there's a dozen better kids movies out there that parents and adults would love more than this one. Its. . . eh? It's just one of those painfully average "eh" movies, a boring plot and boring characters for the most part, but entertaining enough to make it feel somewhat worth the trip. I really like the scenes in the sewers with the viper, and I loved the bunny villain as well. He had a spunky personality that I could appreciate. But other than that, definitely not Illumination's best or worst, just dead center as a "sure, alright" sort of movie.
