6/10
Wasn't as great as the first one

This is my first review, and I'll choose a 50/50 movie.

This movie wasn't that great. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't as great as I thought it would be. I had hoped for a sequel that was creative, like the first one, that played with my emotions, like the first one, and that made me feel for the characters, like the first one.

This movie's plot wasn't original at all. Or maybe it was, but it wasn't very creative. I mean, we go from a marriage that was stopped in an awkward moment, and then next thing you know these characters are trying to chase a dog that they, initially shouldn't have met in the last film. Now they spend the whole movie trying to find and rescue the dog, only to find out at the end that the dog is happier with his dog friends and owners.

So the wild animations wasted how much of their time rescuing a dog that ends up leaving them, this time for good? At least the marriage was finished, with an awkward song that panned through each dog 'couple'. One thing that did crack me up with the man who never speaks, when he finally sang his one note, and almost crashed.

Speaking of annoying scenes and characters, what's with the white fluffy dog who was the boss of the 'gang' and would repeat everything? Very annoying, I'm glad he got shocked with the collar at the end.

So ultimately, this movie could have had a better plot. Don't waste time saving an animal that will just leave you again anyway. And make the animation better, not the same.
