Some animals are shown in a wild partying-type atmosphere, and there is a look into the culture of gang life, complete with a frightening initiation ritual. Some of the scenes of peril for the main characters may be too intense for younger or sensitive viewers. In the many chase scenes, everyone is put in danger by the animals, as they careen around wildly in vehicles, resulting in wrecks of varying severity. This included much talk of killing owners and vengeful hatred for humans and for animals that were still pets, by the evil underground gang.

I did not find anything in this movie to be very offensive, aside from rather harsh comedic violence. See list of Relevant Issues-questions-and-answers. Violence: Heavy / Language: Mild-“holy schnitzel,” “heck,” “oh my gosh,” “shut up,” “Ah, pellet!” / Sex/Nudity: Minor I would not recommend it for children under 10 years old. While I have no problem recommending this movie, I would strongly suggest that the level of violence is too intense for younger children. “For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you!” This gives a great opportunity to explain Matthew 6:14, “Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers…”Īnd, of course, the concept of forgiveness is a major theme in this movie. This can be used to illustrate Hebrews 13:2, The concept of accepting others just as they are is another powerful message in the movie.
“I no longer call you servants, I call you my friends!” This can be used to explain verses showing how God views us, such as John 15:15, Throughout the movie the theme of friendship and the importance of it are emphasized. There is absolutely zero mention of God or anything religious in this movie. It seemed almost like I was viewing a drug or alcohol induced trip which would be very out of place. There is a very strange scene in the middle of the movie involving two characters and a sausage factory that I’m still not sure what I saw. One character also experiences a very violent death! Unfortunately, there are a lot of scenes of mayhem and destruction of property along with quite a lot of physical violence. There are also no curse words, although there are several times characters use insults such as stupid, idiot and dumb. I’m happy to report there is no nudity of sexual situations. Will the evil abandoned pets catch the boys before Max’s friends who are attempting a rescue can save them? Objectionable Issues The remainder of the movie is one chase scene after another. During a gang initiation ceremony, things go chaotically wrong, leading to Max and Duke fleeing for their lives. At this point, we learn that the rabbit is actually the leader of a vast underground society of abandoned pets, reminiscent of a demented land of misfit toys.

Fortunately(?) for them, the aforementioned rabbit enacts a rescue of the dog and agrees to free Max and Duke. Duke and Max quickly become rivals, with both of them taking turns having the upper hand.Īn attempt by Duke to get rid of Max once and for all horribly backfires, causing the two of them to ultimately wind up being caught by two inept dog catchers who also have a vicious dog inside their truck. All is perfect for Max in his paradise of a home until his owner brings home a new dog, Duke which she rescued from the dog pound.
All the other pets in the building Max lives in hang out in his apartment during the day while their owners are at work. K.) is an extremely lovable terrier who is the central character of the movie. The movie opens innocently and funny enough, showing us several scenes of different pets acting in ways that would horrify their owners if they were home to see them.
Oh, how I eagerly waited many months for “The Secret Life of Pets” to be released, anticipating an epic animated movie along the lines of “101 Dalmatians” or perhaps even “Toy Story.” Instead I left the tiny movie theater feeling like I just viewed a glorified Warner Brothers cartoon, complete with a deranged rabbit that makes Bugs Bunny seem like Bambi. Sequel: “ The Secret Life of Pets 2” (2019)
