Snowball the rabbit (voiced loudly and irritatingly by Kevin Hart) is convinced he is a superhero and gets recruited by Daisy (voiced by Tiffany Haddish) to rescue a lion cub from a circus where he is being mistreated. Watching Chloe train Gidget to masquerade as a cat is another laugh out loud scene in the filmĪs if juggling two plots isn’t enough, this production adds a third, which is probably one too many for young viewers. So, she turns to Chloe (voiced by Lake Bell), a sardonic neighboring feline, and asks for instruction in The Way of the Cat.

The resident horde of cats hiss menacingly when Gidget tries to retrieve it. To her horror, it lands in an apartment owned by a crazy cat lady. Gidget (voiced by Jenny Slate), the fluffy neighbor dog, who has been entrusted with Max’s beloved chew toy, manages to drop it down the fire escape. Max isn’t alone in a perilous world…his fellow apartment dwellers are facing their own challenges. (The scene in the waiting room is one of the funniest in the movie.) And then, when the family heads off for a family vacation to a farm, Max is forced to confront a whole new set of potential dangers. Max’s owner takes him to the vet, where he is fitted with a “cone of shame” to stop his stress-induced compulsive scratching. Max’s anxiety really takes off when his owner marries and has a baby, giving Max a consuming need to protect the infant from all dangers, real or imagined. The film opens with Max (voiced by Patton Oswalt), the lovable and mildly neurotic star of the prequel. The antics these animals get up to during the day are enough to prevent any pet owner from ever leaving home again. If you’re the doting owner of a “fur baby”, you might not want to watch The Secret Life of Pets 2.
