Pets United

You don't need another list of "underrated comedies" — Pets United in Australia on Netflix, and in the US on Netflix earns the label on its own. It says what it needs to say in one sitting, no filler. 228 people have weighed in on TMDB, and the verdict leans heavily positive. Natalie Dormer sets the tone, and the rest of the cast matches it scene for scene. Available now on Netflix — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

Pets United is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. Sharp writing and a well-matched ensemble are what separate Pets United from the crowd. When Roger (a Robin Hood-esque, stray dog) and Belle (an elegant yet spoilt pet cat) are thrown together amidst the chaos of a robot take-over of their home city, they must push all their preconceptions aside in order to survive, as they embark on a high-stakes, action-packed adventure. The chemistry Natalie Dormer and Eddie Marsan bring to it does a lot of the heavy lifting. Pets United came out in 2019. Pets United earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh, Pets United is a strong candidate. If you have run out of similar titles to watch, this is a strong next pick. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch from start to finish. Natalie Dormer sets the tone, but the supporting cast is where a lot of the best moments come from. A reliable pick for any night you want quality comedy without the homework.
