Unleashed is a 2016 American romantic comedy film written and directed by Finn Taylor and starring Kate Micucci, Justin Chatwin, Steve Howey, Sean Astin, and Hana Mae Lee.

[6] Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter gave the film a positive review writing: "Although it never quite lives up to the satirical possibilities of its high-concept premise, Unleashed delivers some mildly enjoyable laughs thanks to its engaging female lead and the exuberantly physical performances of her co-stars.

"[7] Barbara Shulgasser-Parker of Common Sense Media rated the film three stars out of five, saying that cast are "greatest charm of the frothy tale lies in its key performances."

She, however, also said that the film's plot "biggest problem" is that "juggling her fun interactions with the vivid, outsized personalities of the pets-come-to-human-life against Emma's growing friendship with the steady, less colorful Carl, who watches longingly from the sidelines as the hunky dog-man and the intriguing cat-man 'woo' her."

"[8] Los Angeles Times' Katie Walsh called the film "the most undeniably goofy premise comes along," with actors Chatwin and Howey are "the most valuable players, giving truly inspired physical performances."
