Movie Review - The Secret Life of Pets

Looking for a break from finals week? Check out The Secret Life of Pets for a cute break from all that studying.  Especially if you are an animal lover this movie is and entertaining little piece with an interesting take on what pets do when we aren't around.

The movie centers around a small dog, Max, and how his life changes when his owner adopts a new dog, Duke.  Sibling rivalry is not just a issue for humans! Max is upset and jealous which causes some tension between the dogs which causes them to get lost in the city and get caught up with a gang of animals.  The movie follows their tumultuous journey through the city and getting to know one another.

I would rate this movie as a 9/10.  The character development for the movie is terrific, all of the dogs fit the breed of dog that they are.  The animation and take on animals when humans aren't around was super cute and creative,
