finished watching The Secret Life of Pets 🌕🌕🌑🌑🌑
Admittedly a bit of a nothingburger of a film.
Secret Life of Pets' issue is one that I've been seeing in other Illumination films I've been watching as of late. It's too corporate, which is to say it's squeaky clean in terms of content to appeal to investors and the most general audiences, the message is too surface level because you can't be too risky with a film's message to keep the status quo happy enough to see profit margins, and the tropes within the movie have been played time and time over to the point it's predictable and unoriginal.
There's not a whole lot to critique because there lacks substance, unique ideas, something notable that makes this film generally memorable, and unfortunately for the movie, I don't think Kevin Hart playing a cute bunny with a thirst for vengeance makes the cut for that.
