I loved the rabbit in "Secret Life Of Pets". It's hilarious to watch it and the dialogue delivery by Kevin Hart is so well. I haven't watched the full film, just a few scenes and I liked it.

Sadly I was disappointed with this movie. I put it on the same level as the nut job. Usually I'm a huge fan of these types of movies but the stories didn't pull me like many others do.

I so loved the movie. It is always nice to see things from a different perspective especially as perceived by animals.

I was really hoping this movie was going to be funnier than it was. All the funny parts were in the previews.
Even the children got bored for the second half.

I have seen it twice. I really enjoyed the animation style-vivid colors, fun characters. Another good one is Zootopia and Angry Birds.

The movie title suggests a group of characters who are naughty and will bring chaos to the human world. If this movie is about what animals think about us humans, then definitely I will watch it if I can soon get a copy.

It wasn't the greatest animation I've ever seen but it was really good. It had some great moments that really had me laughing.

It was okay. I was expecting to see more of what pets did while we left for work. Similar theme to Toy Story, but the simple premise had potential. Two dogs getting lost and finding their way home just seems overdone, and while I did enjoy Kevin Hart's line delivery, I didn't like the inclusion of the sewer animals in the film. They just didn't fit in nicely with the rest of the plot.

I did not like this movie. Everything from the way the characters are designed to the entire story was such a letdown for me. I expected something on the level of Toy Story and the movie didn't even come close to that level. I think very young kids might enjoy it since it is very colorful and full of cute animals. But honestly, if I had a kid, I would definitely show them something else.

These days, whenever our dog goes out, my sister and I joke about how she has a secret life, too. :lol2:

This is one of my 4 year old daughter's favorite movies. She enjoys the concept of pets being able to talk and living a whole "secret life" that us humans aren't aware. The movie is definitely entertaining and there are quite a few quips for adults to pick up on as well. 3.5 out of 5 for me as well, although my daughter would definitely push that to a 4.

I love animals and this movie sounds so cute, I think I'd enjoy it even though I'm an adult. The fact that it's a cartoon doesn't bother me either.

I ended up watching this movie on an airplane. I agree that it was cute, and I would recommend it for children.
