TheSecretLifeOfPets2 follows 3 seperate stories which forcefully stitched together near the end. Or maybe 4 stories? 🤷
Let me break these down for you. There's a story where max has to accept new human baby into the household. Then on completely unrelated story, there's a story where Max had a dog life lesson when this whole family takes a vacation to a farm.
Meanwhile there's a story where snowball tries to rescue a tiger from the abusive circus owner. Oh, and there's this story where Gidget has to infiltrate apartment full of cats.
And then just like that, all of this stories sort of merge at the end.
Sure, there were funny sequences. I giggled whenever there was Chloe on screen.
But looking at my kids had lots of good laughs when watching this, i know this was a fun experience for them.

This version of Aladdin basically the same as the original, with just a few little changes. I like how in this version they make the princess stands up more for the equal rights of women. But unfortunately the song "speechless", imo felt terribly forced and misplaced.
I LOVE Smith's genie in its true form, when he is not big and blue. I can see he is doing his best to differentiate his Genie from Robin Williams'. And i know this is unfair to compare since both was/is amazing actors. But sadly his blue form genie easily overshadowed. For me, Williams' genie still irreplaceable, thus made Smith's seems.... flat. And to make it worse, the CGI was so bad that i cringe inside (Lol) whenever he made any facial expression.
Other low down for me is Jafar. I remember as a kid i could shiver just by hearing Jafar's voice. Imagine my disappointment when i saw this bland less menacing version of Jafar. 😣
But all and all, this is not a total disappointment, IF.... If you dont overthink it. Try to shut off your brain and just enjoy the magical carpet ride.

This is probably my most incredibly biased review since i watched it while i was having my PMS. 🙈
Yes, there were several off putting scenes. Yes, its cliche, predictable and formulaic. And there's this gay best friend factor to make it even more cliche. But, i kept forgiving all of its sins.
I smiled, i laughed, and i cried with them. I rarely cry watching movie, but this one made me cried my eyes out. My god, i cried so many times i lost count.
Simple plot with bitter sweet story. If you're a hopeless romantic, this is definitely for you
