Movie Review: The Secret Life of Pets

 


Review Written By Michael J. Ruhland



















Michael's Movie Grade:B+

Review: The best film Illumination Entertainment has done so far, and an excellent film.

I can't say this is a perfect movie or that it doesn't have any big faults, but what I can say is that the entire time I was watching the film, I was enjoying my self very much. This film was just plain fun from the beginning to end. It had great energy. This film is never boring nor is it ever annoying, it is plain fun. The characters are very likable, and both the animation and voice work feel like part of characters. In other words you just believe the characters. Speaking of the characters their designs are just fantastic. In fact this whole film is just lovely to look at.

On the downside, the humor is rarely laugh out loud funny. There are  a few laugh out loud jokes but not as many as there could be. However there is still a great energy to these jokes and many of these jokes are still amusing. Also there is one sad scene in this movie that doesn't really work. The movie never slows down to let you feel sad about this scene. Because of this the scene feels very out of place and is a major fault in this otherwise great movie.

Overall this film may have it's faults (including one major one) but this film is very, very fun and definitely a film I strongly recommend you see.

But don't go away we have a short to review.
Mower Minions









Michael's Short Film Grade:C

Review: Not the Minions finest hour, but still entertaining.

This film has a good sense of humor and some quite funny jokes, but the timing feels a bit off. This cartoon is quite funny at times, but there are also quite a few jokes where the timing lessens what could have been a much funnier short.

Overall enjoyable, but not near as good as the feature it accompanied.
