Next up, the secret life of pets.

Max is a dog whose owner spoils him to death, this is normal life among the other pets of New York City, this is until the peace is broken when Max's owner comes in with a new dog called Duke who immediately ruins everything, intially trying to control Duke by blackmail, the two dogs end up cornered in a cat alley where a series of events ends up with them being captured by the pound and then human hating animals called the "Flushed". Gidget not wanting to stand idle along with the other neighbours pets, goes after Max as they chase him to Brooklyn where more series of events ends in being captured again and a chase to Brooklyn Bridge that nearly ends in tears. Afterwards the two dogs make peace and continue their lives.
This movie is messy and in some cases mean spirited in a number of ways. I'm familiar with the unwanted guest plotline and seeing where it goes, finding a cult and trying to understand one another through the journey. I've seen it before and I've seen it done better. The funnier moments is when there is no dialogue and your watching the animals do their thing behind closed doors and that's just the trailers repeating again and to be honest I'd take that over the rest of the film, everything else is just not well done at all, both dogs come off as being unlikeable and the situation goes from being friendly and kept within certain universal laws to very convoluted and stupid.
This actually ends up being the most disappointing of the recent rise in quality animated films and it didn't need to be.
