Reviews & comments
Variety
pressStronger sentiments and higher hijinks elevate this sequel above the original.
The Times
pressEven a vocal cameo from Harrison Ford, playing a sturdy country canine, can't save it.
The Guardian
pressA sequel that's better than the original. It's wittier, less frenetic and introduces fresh characters and a nice scene of strategic furball vomming.
Stuff
pressLike its predecessor, Pets 2 works best in its witty observations of human and animal behaviour.
Screen Daily
pressThe Secret Life of Pets 2 may not offer a new tale, but it certainly knows the joy of greeting happy, wagging ones.
Hollywood Reporter
pressSufficiently buoyant to charm the audiences that turned SLOP into a record-breaking box office proposition.
Empire Magazine
pressA sequel that feels less necessary than willed into being, but that doesn't mean it's not pleasantly entertaining.
The Secret Life Of Pets 2, to me, I reckoned was an alright movie. I thought it was a lot like the first film, but except I liked the original movie more. It was a pretty short film, not including the end credits or anything, it was 75 min. I wish there could’ve been some more exciting events. But it was still a memorial and loving movie.
