![]() ![]() ![]() It’s very funny, sweet, and easy to watch, and make sure you stay for the mid-credits scene! ![]() Tonally everything worked in this film for me, with exactly the right amount for kids and adults. Pixar do what they do and they do it amazingly, and finally other studios are realising they can do their own thing and that’s ok. There’s one moment (again I won’t spoil) which Pixar would’ve absolutely milked to make as emotional as possible, but this film doesn’t go there and keeps the tone light. ![]() With Pixar still very much the big hitter in the animation world, I really like that Universal/Illumination are doing their own thing. Try and spot the Alien reference, it’s so great! There’s some great riffing on the relationship between cats and dogs, and a truly wonderful nod to the internet’s obsession with cat videos! Kids will adore the zany humour in this film, but there’s plenty of subtle nods for the parents without being too knowing. is great as Max and Jenny Slate is loveably hyperactive as pampered pooch Gidget. Indeed, it is the cast of this film which makes it so strong Louis C.K. I won’t spoilt much more than this, but I will say there are some great recurring jokes, and that Kevin Hart’s Snowball the Bunny is an absolute scene-stealer! I was grinning from ear to ear watching this film, and whilst it lacks the tact and charm of Pixar, it makes up for it with an abundance of humour. I’ll be the first to admit that some of this films funniest moments have already been seen in the teaser, but that doesn’t make it any less wonderful. The teasers and trailers for this showed a lot of promise, particularly the teaser with highlights including a greedy cat and a heavy-metal loving poodle. When they find themselves far away from home, Max and Duke must put aside their differences to try and find their way back, whilst their pet pals try to find them as well. Max (Louis C.K.) lives an idyllic life, until his owner decides to adopt a new dog, Duke (Stonestreet). Starring: Jenny Slate, Lake Bell, Kevin Hart, Albert Brooks, Eric Stonestreet, Louis C.K. ![]()
