Fans say the film is "heart-warming" and "playful"
BBC enthusiasts have only a few days remaining to watch a "heart-warming" family comedy featuring a Hollywood legend.
The Secret Life of Pets 2, the 2019 animated sequel, continues the adventures of house dogs Max and Duke as they embark on a farm-bound road trip. Facing adversities from unfriendly foxes and cows, they soon encounter sheepdog Rooster who imparts wisdom to Max.
The film's synopsis states: "The lives of Max and Duke are turned upside down when their owner Katie meets and marries Chuck. With the new arrival of their baby son Liam, Max is initially disapproving but grows to love the boy. His tendency to be overprotective is challenged by a visit to Chuck's uncle's farm, where sheepdog Rooster teaches Max some valuable lessons."
