how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score — the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 38 comments (35 from Metacritic, 3 from TMDB reviews) — 10 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence — the shape below rests on 10 comments. The shaded band is how wide the uncertainty actually is, and it is drawn to scale.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

“It's just 3 sub-plots that merge very clunkily to form what I think is supposed to be a climax, but held as much weight as the climax for an episode of a TV show.”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“The message of the film is that life throws surprises. While that is true, this predictable film itself is not one of them.”
Brad Wheeler, The Globe and Mail (Toronto) · 75
“If the knock on “The Secret Life of Pets” was that it was a rip-off of “Toy Story,” then the second film better grounds itself in its own universe. Like its main three characters, it has learned to be comfortable in its own animated skin.”
Mark Kennedy, The Associated Press · 75
“It’s unusual for a typical Illumination broad comedy to include a heartrending message that makes parents feel less alone in their very real, visceral struggles. It’s just cloaked in a shenanigans-soaked romp about what pets do when humans aren’t looking.”
Courtney Howard, Variety · 70
“The animation is clean and colorful, and punchlines hit their mark with adults and children under director Chris Renaud's guidance for a second time. But they also heavily hit audiences with action from three loosely tied story lines, making many "meanwhile" breaks between stories. It is a movie for kids, after all.”
Samantha Incorvaia, Arizona Republic · 70
“The sequel remains charming, beautifully animated, and often incredibly funny, but there’s a sense that writer Brian Lynch realized Max’s story needed a lot more padding this time around.”
Jude Dry, IndieWire · 67

“‘The Secret Life of Pets’ is a weird franchise; I don’t see kids really walking around with Max plushies, nor do I see stories filled with toys from the movie. The original unexpectedly made all this money and so now we have this generic film. There are many, many worse films you could show you children if they like animals - it’s a harmless 90 minutes and its not like their aren’t laughs. I just wish the film was a whole lot more creative. - Chris dos Santos Read Chris' full article... htt”

“I usually do the thing where I just give films 10 stars if they are fun and 1 star if they aren't...but Pets was just OK, so I'm taking the middle path. And really, it's getting 5 instead of one because of Rooster, who gets the only real laughs in what are scenes that are basically ripped straight out of City Slickers... only with dogs. He even has a few stories that will be infinitly quotable. Otherwise you have the laser gag and that's really it as far as laughs. The animation is smoo”
