Which is a shame, because the vocal talent involved in The Secret Life Of Pets is truly top notch, as it’s led by Louis CK, Eric Stonestreet, and Kevin Hart, with Jenny Slate, Ellie Kemper, Albert Brooks, Lake Bell, Dana Carvey, Hannibal Buress, Bobby Moynihan, and Steve Coogan popping up in supporting roles.
According to Honest Trailers, The Secret Life Of Pets fails in this mission, because it is overly chaotic, violent and cartoonish, while it also features way too many characters.
This overpopulation stretches the film too thin and leaves the audience lacking any interest in the film’s main protagonists.
