The Secret Life of Pets 2 (2019)

Part City Slickers For Kids and Part Dumbo
The Secret Life of Pets 2 is a 2019 computer animated comedy movie directed by Chris Renaud, co-directed by Jonathan del Val, and written by Brian Lynch. It was produced by Illumination and Universal Pictures and distributed by Universal Pictures. The film stars Patton Oswalt, Eric Stonestreet, Kevin Hart, Jenny Slate, and Ellie Kemper.


Max (Patton Oswalt) feels anxious and uneasy when his and Duke's (Eric Stonestreet) owner Katie (Ellie Kemper) marries and has a child, Liam (Henry Lynch). He quickly adjusts and grows to like him and develops a strong bond, however he also develops a complex (nervous itch/scratch) thinking of danger whenever Liam ventures outside. He's left with a cone on his head after visiting the vet but the cure for his neuroses just might be a family trip to the countryside.


This movie was fun and had some decent laughs but I feel it fell short of the original. Still if you liked the first one, you're sure to enjoy this one. As someone said, it's almost like a dog version of City Slickers, which is a really funny movie too. There were a welcome addition of new characters, and a lot of take a-ways, messages and themes built into what is supposed to be a kids film. My favorite is of course Snowball who somehow has changed from villain in the first movie to superhero in this one. I give this movie a 6/10.

This book was interesting but also a little confusing. There was quite a few stories going in which did slightly affect it. You have to keep track who the new chapters were about. When it was on Polly's story the chapters did tend to follow on from each other.
I couldn't of guessed what happened at the end of the book and it was a little sad. The only other disappointing thing with the book was some parts of the story went unanswered (I tend to like things all tied up) but I suppose that was one of the messages in the story - not everything has an answer.
The book genre was crime, a little romance and something else and these are all genres I would generally read and the blurb grabbed my attention. Once I got over the first few chapters I couldn't put the book down. I was hooked and couldn't wait to see what happened next.
As well as the changing on the story the other thing that affected the flow of the book was the spelling mistakes (but this could be corrected) in a further copy.
I like a book where the characters grow as people as this was definitely one of those. The main character, Patti, grew so much with the help of Polly.
I would purchase another book by the author.
I received a complimentary copy of the book from the author via Voracious Readers Only.
