The Secret Lives of Pets 2 attempts to show its characters in a brave avatar, having them face their challenges with remarkable pluck but it's all rather lost in the fragmented presentation that works on wild imagination rather than reality

Rating:
This rather tame, light-weight sequel to the 2016 animated hit — which followed the misadventures of some Manhattan pets while their owners were at work, has precious little redeeming enough to warrant a second coming. This rather unwarranted second instalment highlights some endearing eccentricities Max (currently voiced by Patton Oswalt, since Louis CK fell out of favour following revelations of sexual misconduct) visits a farm where he has to tap into his more animalistic, confident side under the tutelage of a grizzled sheepdog named Rooster (voiced by Harrison Ford).
