REVIEW: “STRAYS” (2023) Universal

Strays is everything you didn’t know you needed for a weekend film watch.

Coming out Friday, August 18th, 2023 from @universalpictures with a great cast including #WillFerrell #JamiFoxx #IslaFisher #RandallPark as the rauchiest pups in town. Yet so completely adorably sweet as well. #WillForte is the main ‘human’ here that you honestly just want to punch in the face..and well deserves his comeuppance here at the end – which you will never forget!

(from left) Maggie (Isla Fisher), Reggie (Will Ferrell), Bug (Jamie Foxx), and Hunter (Randall Park) in Strays, directed by Josh Greenbaum.

Is it a perfect comedy? no..as it has a few ‘yikes’ moments and let’s be real – a french Bulldog that’s worth around 3.5K is not ever going to be a stray..as well it’s full of raunch humour..but it’s raunch humour done right.

It also is completely adorable at times and has an definitive underlying sweetness that will touch you. But don’t do what I almost did and take the kid..because this is most definitely R-rated as was pointed out to my by said 10 yr old. “The “R” is right there in the dogs mouth on the poster” 😂

So my advice..skip the Marvel’ing and get some good animalistic humour with this one!


P.S. #DennisQuaid for the WIN!

Grade: B

  1. The raunchiest pups in town indeed judging from the trailer. Love the cast so I might watch it when it’s out on VOD, nice to see Randall Park as the voice cast, too!
