Our take on The Secret Life of Pets

This 2016 animated comedy from Chris Renaud imagines what your pets get up to once you leave for work. The quiet life of a terrier named Max is turned upside down when his owner brings home Duke, a big shaggy stray he instantly resents. Their rivalry sparks an adventure through the hidden animal life of the city, aimed squarely at families and younger viewers who love bright, fast-moving fun. The humor leans on recognizable pet behavior and cheerful slapstick rather than anything demanding, and the pace rarely slows. If you want a breezy, colorful watch for a family movie night, this fits the bill.
