Your kids are going to want to see this one- especially if they saw the first movie. There are also a few scary scenes that might make a younger child jumpy: a dog and sheep falling off a cliff in one instance and some creepy wolves giving chase in others. The style of fighting between animals at one point is more MMA than slapstick. There’s a monkey that’s throwing fistfuls of knives at a bunny that just feels excessive. There are a lot of them and they take it a bit too far in a few cases.

My biggest issue with the movie was the animal fight scenes and animal abuse scenes. I know kids won’t get it, but hey, I want you to be aware via this parent movie review. There’s also a joke about a cat getting high on catnip that certainly hints at drug use (the song “White Rabbit” by Jefferson Airplane is playing in the background of one scene). Like- a lot of potty talk (pets and humans.) There was an awful lot of potty humor, however, so if that’s something your family avoids, please take note.

It’s just that adults might be a bit pickier! That Being Said, Is The Secret Life of Pets 2 Kid-Friendly?įrom a language standpoint: yes! I didn’t catch or pick up any language concerns in this movie. But they are also actors I enjoy in live-action movies so that might have influenced things just a bit.Īs far as holding a child’s attention and keeping them entertained, this movie will do the trick. Patton Oswalt, Harrison Ford, and Tiffany Haddish were fun to hear and I was smiling on just about every line from these three. That being said, as an adult, I was tickled by the voice actors. But to sum that up real quickly: I found The Secret Life of Pets 2 pretty boring and disjointed more like 3 short stories that they decided to try to cram into one longer movie. I’m going to skip most of the regular review and just get to the parent movie review portion. The Secret Life of Pets 2 Parent Movie Review
#Secret life of pets movie scenes full
There are some adorable snippets of kids and pets shown that almost make up for the rest of the movie! And if you really want to stay through the full credits, you’ll get a quick one-liner from Harrison Ford at the very, very end. Stick around for a little bit post movie.

His owner (Ellie Kemper) is now married and has a toddler, Liam. In the Secret Life of Pets 2, Terrier Max (Patton Oswalt) is coping with some major life changes.
