Max and friends are back again living their secret lives when their owners leave home each day. With a new baby at home, a vacation to a farm, and a caged circus tiger, Max and his pet friends deal with the challenges of life.
Patton Oswalt (Max), Kevin Hart (Snowball), Harrison Ford (Rooster), Eric Stonestreet (Duke), Jenny Slate (Gidget), Tiffany Haddish (Daisy), Lake Bell (Chloe), Dana Carvey (Pops), Hannibal Buress (Buddy).
The Secret Life of Pets 2 launches with Max learning a baby is being added to his home and a vacation to a farm. With Max and Duke gone, it is up to Chloe, Gidget and the crew to keep things in order at home. But when Daisy shows up with a story about a caged tiger, Snowball rises to the call as a superhero. The rest of the film is a fun adventure as the pets try to save Hu the tiger, survive the farm, and retrieve a favorite toy. Chloe teaching Gidget to be a cat was hysterical.
As this was animation, voice work rather than acting was the focus and from that perspective, everyone did an excellent job. Ford was a nice addition and fit perfectly. Haddish was enjoyable as well, as was Bell, and Slate rocked it once again.
Animation was again good with excessively vibrant colors and a nice blend of fantasy and reality. Dialogue remains campy, corny, and a lot of fun. Sound and soundtrack are well done.
Once again, a great choice for family movie night with the younger kids. The story is silly and simplistic, but enough that adults shouldn't be completely bored.
Nothing here to limit audience age.
