He and Katie have been living in New York since she has adopted him and life is never better. You see, Max is a cute little fluffy puppy while Katie is his amazing human owner.

Max (Louis C.K.) and Katie (Ellie Kemper) are totally in love. Most of the funny parts were ALL in the trailers (most of the trailer comes from the first 15 minutes of the movie) and the rest was a monotonous, but still decently entertaining family animated flick. I made sure to hold off and give it a second time before writing this analysis (I had to actually watch it three times, 2D, 3D and 4K for these reviews) and it just didn’t get better with multiple watches. Sadly I think part of my own hype got the better of me and when I finally DID get to see it I was more than a bit disappointed. My wife and I really wanted to see it in theaters but somehow holiday life got in the way and it somehow got put on the back burner until the home theater release. The trailer was cute, funny and especially hysterical to a pet owner like myself when it came to the eccentricities of animals.

It had the same creative writing and directing team as those behind the wildly popular “Despicable Me” series and I’m a monster fan of that franchise. I have to say that I was SUPER excited for “The Secret Life of Pets” when I saw the trailer drop.
