There have been so many R-rated comedies that follow the "they go on a chaotic journey together" trope. From The Hangover to Bad Moms to Good Boys, it's all there. However, the R-rated comedy starring talking dogs has never been done before– until now. Will Ferrell and Jamie Foxx reunite on screen for the first time since Get Hard to co-star as dogs in Strays. Ferrell plays Reggie, a poor dog whose owner (Will Forte) mistreats and abandons him.
Reggie, of course, does not realize that his owner is the worst. He loves his owner, Doug, more than anything. He even thinks being taken somewhere and having to find his own way home is a game. So, when he finds himself in the city, he is shocked to hear the truth from his new friends, a group of strays. Apparently, Doug abandoned him. There isn't much time for the film to go all Homeward Bound. Reggie decides, with the help of his new friends, that he's going to get rid of the one thing Doug loves. He's going to bite Doug's dick off. He is joined on his quest by his fellow strays.
"Strays" Trailer
When Reggie meets his new city stray friends, they get into all kinds of shenanigans. They get drunk and drink beer. When that happens, Bug and Reggie fight other dogs (themselves) that they see in a window. They run through sprinklers and curse up a storm. Bug introduces Reggie to "humping things," which Reggie does with a garden gnome while the other dogs hump an owl decoration and a fake deer. Bug gets abducted by a hawk. The dogs eat mushrooms and get high as kites. The team go through fields, fairs, trees, and even jail cells to get back to Doug so Reggie can enact his revenge.
One of them is a Boston Terrier named "Bug," played by Jamie Foxx. The film also stars Isla Fisher as "Maggie," and Randal Park as "Hunter." Strays was directed by Josh Greenbaum (Barb And Star Go To Vista Del Mar) and written by Dan Perrault (Players). It was executive produced by Nikki Baida, Shayne Fiske, Douglas C. Merrifield, and Jessica Switch. Strays comes to theaters on June 9.
