That loyalty proves misplaced, since Doug is an abusive lowlife who repeatedly attempts to get Reggie out of his life by playing a \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>\u201d that involves dropping him off in the middle of nowhere after long drives \u2014 a game Reggie repeatedly wins by amazingly finding his way back home. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Until, that is, Reggie gets thoroughly lost in a big city, where he becomes friends with Bug (Foxx), a foul-mouthed Boston Terrier who quickly wises him up to Doug\u2019s true nature.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Reggie is still determined to get back home, this time not for a joyful reunion but rather to bite off Doug\u2019s favorite part of his anatomy, one to which he pays near constant attention (the sight of Forte shaving his nether regions is not easily forgotten). He\u2019s joined in his quest by two other new acquaintances: Maggie (Isla Fisher), an Australian Shepherd with a killer nose for sniffing out scents; and Hunter (Randall Park), an anxiety-ridden Great Dane who works as a therapy dog in a hospice after flunking out of the canine police academy. Hunter wears a protective cone around his neck \u2014 not because he needs one, but because it makes him feel more at ease.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Add multiple f-words to every one of the preceding sentences and you\u2019ll have an idea of Dan Perrault\u2019s screenplay, which fortunately features enough truly funny gags to make up for its relentless in-your-face vulgarity. The writer has clearly done ample research for the project, managing to wring every bit of humor possible out of canine behavior, more than you would have ever thought possible. It wouldn\u2019t be surprising to learn that he went undercover in a dog costume at his local animal shelter. Especially since one of the film\u2019s most amusing scenes concerns a mass breakout in which the inventive pooches distract their hapless guard (Brett Gelman) with a mass pooping event. Of course, they only resort to that after the well-endowed Hunter fails to reach the keys with his engorged pink penis, the expansion of which is facilitated by Maggie talking dirty.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    It\u2019s no wonder the film\u2019s poster features one of the dogs prominently holding an R-rating announcement in his mouth, since careless parents who bring their kids to see these adorable pups will have a lot of explaining to do to their traumatized children. It wouldn\u2019t be the worst thing in the world, though, since <em>Strays<\/em> also delivers a heartfelt message about the importance of loving our endlessly loyal canine pets. And not letting them eat wild mushrooms, as that would result in them getting stoned out of their minds, which h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ens here.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    In case you\u2019re wondering how the dogs appear to be talking, it\u2019s with the same CGI animation that has made doggie lips move in many previous films, a visual effect that is as creepy as it is uncanny. And although there\u2019s no small amount of other visual trickery in the film\u2019s animal depictions (squirrels and eagles also appear), the real dog performers have clearly been extremely well trained in their paces, delivering the sort of complex, nuanced performances that should put many human thespians to shame. Director Josh Greenbaum (<em>Barb and Star<\/em> <em>Go to Vista Del Mar<\/em>) clearly has the patience of a saint.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Even with its brief 93-minute running time, <em>Strays<\/em> feels thin and repetitive; after all, there are only so many times you can laugh at, say, a dog happily eating another\u2019s dog vomit. But the film nonetheless delivers plenty of laughs, making up for many of its clunkers through sheer volume and the talents of its starry voice cast. Even in middle age, Ferrell can still amusingly convey the boundless na\u00efvet\u00e9 that he did in <em>Elf<\/em>, while Foxx leans into his rapid-fire, profanity-laden material with Richard Pryor-like gusto. Fisher employs her Australian accent to charming effect, and Park is hilarious with his deadpan line readings as the Great Dane who has nothing to be insecure about. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Among the other vocal performers are Rob Riggle and Josh Gad as a pair of overzealous K-9 dogs and Sofia Vergara as a seductive couch. And if you have to ask how a couch can be seductive, you haven\u2019t been around enough dogs. There\u2019s also a fun cameo by a famous actor who\u2019s starred in a couple of hit dog-themed <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">movies<\/a> himself.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    If you\u2019re wondering whether Reggie gets to complete his mission of revenge, suffice it to say that Forte proves himself a good sport and you\u2019ll never hear Miley Cyrus\u2019 hit song \u201cWrecking Ball\u201d the same way again. \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"review-full-cast \/\/ \">\n<h2 id=\"section-heading\" class=\"c-heading larva  a-font-primary-xs lrv-u-border-b-1 lrv-u-border-color-grey lrv-u-padding-tb-050\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Full_credits\"><\/span>\n<p>        Full credits<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>            Production companies: Universal Pictures, Gloria Sanchez Productions, Lord Miller, Picturestart, Rabbit Hole Productions, Universal Animation Studios<br \/>Distributor: Universal Pictures<br \/>Cast: Will Ferrell, Jamie Foxx, Isla Fisher, Randall Park, Brett Gelman, Will Forte, Josh Gad, Harvey Guillen, Rob Riggle, Jamie Demetriou, Sofia Vergara<br \/>Director: Josh Greenbaum<br \/>Screenwriter: Dan Perrault<br \/>Producers: Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, Erik Feig, Aditya Sood, Louis Leterrier, Dan Perrault<br \/>Executive producers: Nikka Baida, Doug Merrifield, Jessica Switch, Julia Hammer<br \/>Director of photography: Tim Orr<br \/>Production designer: Aaron Osborne<br \/>Editors: Greg Hayden, David Rennie<br \/>Costume designer: Romy Itizgsohn<br \/>Composer: Dara Taylor<br \/>Casting: Rebecca Carfagna, Meagan Lewis<br \/><span><br \/>\n                                    Rated R,<br \/>\n                                1 hour 33 minutes           <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"newsletter-cta\">\n<div class=\"lrv-u-margin-tb-125 lrv-u-margin-tb-150@desktop-xl lrv-u-padding-tb-2 lrv-u-flex lrv-u-justify-content-space-between lrv-u-border-t-1 lrv-u-border-b-1 lrv-u-align-items-center lrv-u-flex-direction-column@mobile-max lrv-u-padding-a-2@mobile-max\">\n<div class=\"lrv-u-text-align-center@mobile-max\">\n<h2 id=\"section-heading\" class=\"c-heading larva  a-font-primary-xs lrv-u-text-transform-uppercase\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"THR_Newsletters\"><\/span>\n<p>        THR Newsletters<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"c-tagline  a-font-secondary-italic-s lrv-u-margin-a-00 lrv-u-margin-b-150@mobile-max\">Sign up for THR <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> straight to your inbox every day<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>    <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"c-button larva  lrv-a-unstyle-button lrv-u-cursor-pointer lrv-u-padding-tb-075 lrv-u-padding-lr-150 lrv-u-border-color-brand-accent lrv-u-border-a-1 a-font-accent-bold-s lrv-u-text-transform-uppercase lrv-u-color-brand-accent u-margin-l-150@tablet\" href=\"https:\/\/cloud.email.hollywoodreporter.com\/signup\/\"><\/p>\n<p>    <span class=\"c-button__inner \"><br \/>\n        Subscribe   <\/span><\/p>\n<p>            <span class=\"lrv-a-screen-reader-only\">Sign Up<\/span><\/p>\n<p>    <\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
