Awesome movie! 100 percent entertaining 100 percent of the time. Very well made and clever.

This movie is going to make a TON of money!

For the first time in a long time the entire theatre clapped at the end. It's just exceedingly enjoyable.

Is there a plot or just a bunch of vignettes?

I saw it with my kids today. I loved it. I'm not a huge Kevin Hart fan, but he was hilarious as the rabbit.

There is a plot. The trailer is really just the opening scenes of the movie, for the most part.

The first thing you notice is that the trailer they've shown on TV is literally just the first minute or two of the movie. Brilliant. For the first time in a long time someone made a trailer that DIDNT SPOIL ANYTHING!

Brilliant.

The story is simple, entertaining, clever, and at time heartfelt. It's the perfect family movie. Everyone will enjoy it. I was laughing most of the time.

Illumination, the company that made this movie, the Despicable Me movies, and Minions is really stepping up their game. This felt like a Pixar quality movie, but the plot is simpler and focused more on clever humor rather than emotional impact.

It's just a purely entertaining movie.

So, it's not just Toy Story but with pets? 'cause that's exactly what it looks like.

You didn't like Toy Story?

Great review Mizzou. Taking my kids tomorrow.

I think my wife and I liked more than our girls (6&3y/0), and they loved it. We were laughing the whole time. Great family movie: fun for kids and adults, and not too long.
Finding Dory was garbage in comparison.

I love going to the movies but this crap makes me want to

It's soooo embarrassing. The people who made the movie aren't there. They can't hear you clapping so what's the point?

That's all it is from what the reviewers are saying, and really going so far as to say it's a total rip off. They're saying its beat for beat but with worse characters.

Did this at Star Wars during the premiere. It was lots of fun.

Took the kids to watch SLOP yesterday and I was thrilled that there was an actual storyline. They set up a nice premise for a sequel because "cats always lie."
