The Secret Life of Pets 2

This is gonna be short and sweet, just like I would prefer this movie to be. I know *I’m* the weirdo because I go see all these kids’ movies when I have no kids, hang around no kids, and have less than no interest in kid things. so is it really my fault if a kids’ movie doesn’t grab me? No. BUT, I think we can all agree, there’s a sliding scale that exists from Pixar’s best to The Emoji Movie, and it makes a big difference which end of the scale you end up on. So where does The Secret Life of Pets 2 end up on this scale? Well...

Somewhere below Cars 3 and above your lesser Land Before Times probably. I wanted to like it, I really did - it features Patton Oswalt, my literal comedy hero, as main character Max (replacing Louis CK from the first film, and good riddance) plus a great supporting cast including Harrison Ford(!), Tiffany Haddish, Kevin Hart, Jenny Slate, and Eric Stonestreet. But a lot of it feels kinda...soulless? The overall feel is the kind of easy-to-swallow sugary sweetness of a Saturday morning cartoon paired with a bowl of Lucky Charms. There’s nothing WRONG with it, for sure! But I was hoping for something a little more emotionally resonant and what I got was a barely related A, B, and C plot that felt disjointed and evaporated as quickly as your hearts, stars, clovers, horseshoes, and blue moons.

Like the first movie (which I admit I haven’t seen), this one follows the adventures of Max and the various pets that live in his high rise in NYC, including rabbit Snowball (Kevin Hart), floofy pomeranian Gidget (Jenny Slate), and aloof cat Chloe (Lake Bell). Max is super anxious because of all these new changes in his life - his humans have a kid now and he wants to protect him from EVERYTHING, which is stressful for a little guy! But when he heads out to the country for a family vacation, he meets tough dog Rooster (Harrison Ford) who teaches him a little something about getting in touch with his wild side. Other, completely separate and unrelated things are also happening with Snowball and Chloe + Gidget, but they are pretty lackluster tbh.

Some thoughts:

Right away I’m gonna say it, I feel very superior simply based on the way this film presents cats vs. dogs. Like maybe it’s because cats are just not really my jam, but this film does NOTHING to promote positive cat propaganda. These cats are horrifying nightmares.

While I don’t love the animated character design for everyone, I do have to confess, I find Max’s design so unbelievably charming and cute.

Of the supporting cast, Jenny Slate is by far my favorite, taking what could be a twee, ridiculous part and infusing it with a lot of warmth and humor.

Who leaves their windows open all day in Manhattan?? When they’re NOT HOME?? Is that a thing? That can’t be a thing.

Also what building are these people living in that they can all afford to 1) live in an apartment by themselves and 2) own a car in the middle of Manhattan? I know rent control is a thing but I am side-eyeing hard here.

As in all underwhelming movies, there is one moment that made me laugh upsettingly hard, because even in the darkest places you can find gems. The noise that the turkey on the farm makes, which is CLEARLY just a person making a fake turkey noise, was so face-splittingly funny to me, I’m still not over it.

The one really great aspect of the film is everything about the Max and Rooster interactions. Harrison Ford is pitch perfect as the gruff, begrudging mentor figure for an overwhelmed and anxious Patton Oswalt. Ford’s lines are by far the funniest in his deadpan grandpa voice, and Oswalt’s vibrating energy playing off that is a delight. Plus, this plot thread is the only one that is focused on a character actually growing and changing, so there are some actual emotional depths to plumb here. Basically I loved this A-plot and wish that it had been the focus of the entire movie. You could have easily done a full fish-out-of-water city dog in the scary countryside thing for 90 minutes and had the growth and change occur a little slower.

There’s an entire subplot with a tiger that makes not a lick of sense, wastes a very game Nick Kroll who’s trying to inject some amount of liveliness into the proceedings, and barely even delivers on a resolution. It feels very “we’re running out of ideas in the 11th season of a CBS sitcom.”

There is a series of dog and kid videos in the end credits of the film, taken from Youtube presumably, and they are funnier and more charming than at least half the movie. That’s not a great sign.

Did I Cry? Yeah, no.

Even for pet lovers like myself this was pretty disappointing. I’d watch the 30-minute version of just Max and Rooster’s scenes on repeat every Christmas, but other than that, you’re probably safe to give this one a pass.

Wait, if the song isn’t the single, but for the soundtrack of TSLOP2, how come there’s merch for the song itself? I think that if it was for the movie, there wouldn’t be merch for it. At least, not just for the song. Idk anymore😭

It’s kind of ridiculous how badly I want TSLOP2 theory to be true. Like I really need it to be real. I’d have such an easier time accepting the song.

#personal #tbh the song sounds like it belongs on a kids movie soundtrack #and i am having the hardest time with this
