Hitchcoc Most movies these days are OK. Animation has become the vehicle of this moment. There was a time when we would be stunned by the incredible use of the animators craft. But once computers and their technicians go into the act and there was so much to watch, we needed something to stand out. While this is a movie about rivalries and being happy with what we have, there is no sparkle to it. There is just a lot of intense action and no reality to peak of. Yes, I did say reality. The anthropomorphic figures here need to be stunning. We've seen the chases and the splats and the tiresome human traits that have been done so often. I had not trouble watching and enjoying parts of this, but as a whole with a direction, it comes up rather short.
Michael Ledo Max the dog loves his owner and waits by the door for her return. One day she bring home, Duke, a large shaggy dog. They don't hit it off and they end up lost in NYC with flushed angry anarchist pets hunting them lead by a bunny, as well as their friends looking for them.I watched this in REAL 3D with my 3 grandnieces ages 11 and 12. We all loved it. They managed to capture the odd traits about pets that are funnier on the screen then in real life. My favorite was the cat who didn't care. The girls fell in love with Gidget and bought the stuffed animal.The 3D effect had a number of scenes where it did some good, especially the snake scene. I would recommend seeing this twice over seeing "The BFG" once.
Mihai Toma In a fantastic world where pets can talk to each other, a small dog by the name of Max is forced to face a harsh fact. His owner brings him a new roommate with whom he must share everything. Unfortunately, their relationship seems doomed from the beginning due to differences in character and also in size, but this is about to change when they must work together to return home after the city pound catches them without collars.It is a funny animation which tells the story of two very different dogs who struggle to tolerate each other and as you would expect, they're forced to put their differences aside in order to survive and get home to their owner. It seems funny at the beginning and it manages to make you laugh from time to time, but far from the expectations I had, while the plot is simplistic, very predictable and very common. As you can tell from its rating, it's an average movie which doesn't stand out from the crowd with anything, thus making it only a good watch, bound to be forgotten very soon, although it had potential through its imagined world.
mrsOGB Hubby and I loved this movie. We have 2 dogs and 2 cats, so we got a kick out of this film. You don't have to have pets to love it, but it helps! It has a cute story line, and funny actors to voice the pets. Has some truly hilarious lines. I like that it has a message to kids/all of us that pets need to be taken care of and loved. My favorite scene is the ending sequence and I'm not going to lie, it makes me tear up. Super cute movie.
