Review of Unleashed

Unleashed (I) (2016)
9/10
A true delight
23 November 2016
My wife and saw Unleashed at the recent Napa Valley Film Festival. It was a delight to watch. The humor was extremely witty and unique. The plot was a surprise as the description was a little vague but we were hungry for a comedy after all the serious themes of the other films. This was the relief we needed! The plot was clever, the pet characters were hysterical. The movie moved quickly and the plot was not predictable. I think this will be a surprise hit when it is broadly distributed. All pet owners will enjoy the great takes the "animals" bring to their human form. Justin Chatwin and Steve Howley were stand outs! Justin brought a funny seriousness to his role while Steve emerged as a young Will Ferrell. Kate Micucci delivers a great quirky character with a good heart that's been deeply hurt. Her wish for a great "man" is sincere and arrives with big twists and turns. The director poked great fun at our cultish celebrity culture. This is a great date or family movie. Truly fun for all ages.
