They say a dog is a man's best friend, but what if the man is a total dirtbag? In that case, it might be time for some sweet revenge, doggy style. When Reggie (Will Ferrell), a naïve, relentlessly optimistic Border Terrier, is abandoned on the mean city streets by his lowlife owner, Doug (Will Forte; The Last Man on Earth, Nebraska), Reggie is certain that his beloved owner would never leave him on purpose. But once Reggie falls in with a fast-talking, foul-mouthed Boston Terrier named Bug (Oscar® winner Jamie Foxx), a stray who loves his freedom and believes that owners are for suckers, Reggie finally realizes he was in a toxic relationship and begins to see Doug for the heartless sleazeball that he is. Determined to seek revenge, Reggie, Bug and Bug's pals--Maggie (Isla Fisher; Now You See Me, Wedding Crashers), a smart Australian Shepherd who has been sidelined by her owner's new puppy, and Hunter (Randall Park; Always Be My Maybe, Aquaman), an anxious Great Dane who's stressed out by his work as an emotional support animal--together hatch a plan and embark on an epic adventure to help Reggie find his way home... and make Doug pay by biting off the appendage he loves the most. (Hint: It's not his foot.) Read More Read Less

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Crudely effective and effectively crude, Strays is more amusing than hilarious, but this comedy's scattershot humor is partly offset by its surprisingly big heart.

Audience Says

Strays is funny enough to recommend as a raunchy good time -- just know that it definitely isn't for kids or the easily offended.

Sergio Burstein Los Angeles Times Visually, director Josh Greenbaun doesn't offer anything surprising. [Full review in Spanish] Oct 5, 2023 Full Review Peter Rainer FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) It's uneven and should be sharper than it is, but is the dog movie equivalent of Bad Santa. Very scatological and obscene, but very funny. Sep 7, 2023 Full Review Tim Grierson Breakfast All Day There is funny stuff in the movie.. just didn't think it was funny enough. Aug 24, 2023 Full Review Shakyl Lambert CGMagazine Personally, I want these strays to go to a good home, if only so I don’t have to see them ever again. Rated: 4/10 Jul 12, 2024 Full Review Paul Klein FILMHOUNDS Magazine Your enjoyment of gross-out, profanity laced humour will decide if this is a must watch or not, but despite there being ample ground to farm, the film feels all too happy to roll around in its dog filth. Rated: 2/5 Jul 5, 2024 Full Review Kip Mooney College Movie Review I laughed harder and more frequently than just about any movie this year. Rated: B Dec 4, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Kevin J Great film with a very versatile V/O cast. Some of the jokes were a bit phoned in and obvious, but overall, I'd watch it again and recommend anyone who enjoys movies led by Will Ferrell or Jamie Foxx to check this joint out! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/04/23 Full Review Robert Barela Funny movie with a story line, something different Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/22/23 Full Review Keath M A cute story concept that just fell flat. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/20/23 Full Review Valerie I loved the movie I didnt see that it was rated R so please be mindful taking your children. Its a lot of cussing and humping going on but all in a one funny cute movie. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/18/23 Full Review Linda Not for minors, fun for adults Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/17/23 Full Review Ty Every third or fourth word is the F Word! Horrible. Too bad as the dogs were cute and talking was realistic. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
