In an attempt to get rid of Duke, both Max and Duke end up lost in the city and enlisted in the ‘The Flushed Pets’, a group of animals who hate humans. But one day, his owner adopts another dog named Duke (voiced by Eric Stonestreet) and they don’t get along.

‘The Secret Life Of Pets’ follows the story of Max (voiced by Louis C.K.), a rather spoiled dog who leads a happy life with his owner and friends Chloe (Lake Bell), Gidget (Jenny Slate), Mel (Bobby Moynihan) and Buddy (Hannibal Buress). The issue they now have is ensuring the movie is just as funny and engaging as the trailer and that’s where Dreamworks stumble.īefore we get down to the nitty and gritty, a quick summary. There’s not a person out there who doesn’t know about this movie.

It has done an incredible job of promoting the movie across the world and really getting the movie noticed. The marketing around The Secret Life of Pets is it’s biggest asset and also it’s biggest weakness. Everyone and their hamster has now seen the iconic trailer where the pets misbehave while their owners are out but does the movie live up to the hype.

But that is exactly what happened when I went along to the cinema this past weekend to see the new Dreamworks Animation movie ‘The Secret Life Of Pets’. There are very few films that you see at the cinemas these days without knowing anything about the plot.
