But those are the kind of cute images offered up by “The Secret Life of Pets,” which plays to animal lovers in the audience without offering up much original story. What do your pets dare to do when you’re not around? In reality, it’s probably not playing video games, receiving massages from kitchen mixers, or breaking into your refrigerator and eating your roast chicken. But the story itself is mostly unremarkable, and its narrative shortcuts will annoy parents.
‘The Secret Life of Pets’ has a number of cute moments that will be familiar and comforting for those who love their dogs, cats, birds, or other animals. Some wild party scenes from the pets’ perspective, some bullying, a few characters die off-screen, some bathroom humor (including jokes about defecating and pets being fixed), and a lecherous character who calls another his girlfriend, even though his feelings aren’t returned. Some cartoon violence, including fistfights, numerous car crashes, the threat of drowning, an initiation ritual that includes a snakebite, and a ruse where pets pretend they killed their masters to get in good with the other group. He is proud to be a part of the Team and hopes to help everyone enjoy their AV experiences to the fullest.Age Appropriate For: 6+.
Chris enjoys bringing his observations and discoveries about every kind of home theater product to as many curious and well-informed readers as possible. In his spare time he enjoys riding his recumbent trike at least 100 miles per week, trying out new restaurants, going to theme parks and spending as much time as possible watching movies and listening to music. Chris is extremely fortunate that his need for quality audio and video is shared and supported by his wife of over 25 years. His ultimate theater desires were realized when he completed construction of a dedicated cinema/listening room in his home. Dissatisfied with the image quality of his new acquisition, Chris trained with the Imaging Science Foundation in 2006 and became a professional display calibrator. He retired from the Army in 2013 and is now writing full time and performing as a freelance musician in Central Florida.Īs an avid movie lover, Chris was unable to turn away the 50-inch Samsung DLP TV that arrived at his door one day, thus launching him irrevocably into an obsession with home theater. During his third year at the New England Conservatory of Music, he won a position with the West Point Band where he served for 26 years as principal bassoonist. Chris' passion for audio began when he took up playing the bassoon at age 12.
