Have
you ever wondered what happens in the minds of our pets when we’re
gone? That question was answered when we were introduced to the adorable
characters of The Secret Life of Pets. Three years after the original
movie, Max, Duke, Gidget and the rest of the gang return for The Secret
Life of Pets 2. Unlike the first Secret Life of Pets, the sequel does
not have one main plot. Instead, it is formatted more like an episode
with three different story-lines going on at once - each starring at
least one of the original pets.
The first story-line involves
Max and Duke’s owner getting married and then adding a new addition to
their family, baby Liam. They then take a family trip to the countryside
- where an older dog named Rooster teaches Max how to relax and face
his fears. Duke just kind of exists, and doesn’t seem to play a large
role.
In the second story line Gidget attempts to retrieve Max’s busy bee toy that she loses while he is on his trip.
The
final story-line stars Snowball who poses as a superhero to help Daisy a
who is a new character free a circus tiger from captivity.
The
movie was cute (not as cute as the first one), and there were some
moments that were potentially problematic throughout the movie. In
Snowball’s story live he is working to help Daisy rescue in adorable
white tiger cub from an abusive circus organizer - during these parts
animal abuse is show and he even kicks Max. Eventually the circus
organizer gets hit by a car a couple times. Both of these scenes were
shocking to see in the movie. Something else that was really odd was the
fact they said “Pissed off Pickles”, I think its totally unnecessary
for that language in a children’s movie. Personally I didn’t even want
to hear it. When that was said you heard the gasp over the audience and a
few children say “that was a swear”.
Overall it was a cute movie, with some unnecessary moments and scenes.
The Secret Life of Pets 2 will be in a theater near you THIS Friday, June 7, 2019!
