Max the terrier encounters canine-intolerant cows, hostile foxes, and a scary turkey when he visits the countryside. Luckily for Max, he soon catches a break when he meets Rooster, a gruff farm dog who tries to cure the lovable pooch of his neuroses.
Tara McNamara, of Common Sense Media, states “Parents need to know that The Secret Life of Pets 2 is the sequel to the 2016 animated comedy about what pets do when their humans aren’t home. It continues the story of Max as his owner gets married and has a baby. A subplot has Snowball and new dog Daisy working together to rescue an abused tiger from a Russian circus that has menacing wolves and a cartoonishly villainous lion tamer. The dark humor and peril are toned down from the original, with more of a shift to slapstick violence that’s meant to be funny. Animals punch and throw knives at one another, and a bad guy is hit by a car, but no one is ever really injured. Language includes “pissed,” put-downs (“jerk,” “idiot,” “stupid,” etc.), and potty humor (“turd”). And there’s a scene in which a cat is high on catnip. Messages for parents revolve around Max’s anxiety about keeping his owner’s toddler safe; his helicopter ways are questioned by a dog named Rooster, who’s more of a let-them-get-hurt-and-learn kind of canine. For kids, though, the main moral of the story is to face and embrace the changes life inevitably brings.”
The Secret Life of Pets 2 was released in June 2019. The film’s gross box office revenue is over $428 million. MPAA Rating: PG; peril/action. For families with children 3 – 17 years old.
