More About Strays
In an exclusive clip from Strays on Screen Rant, Reggie, Bug, Maggie, and Hunter, four dogs, attempt to convince their friend Chester, an English bulldog, to join them. Chester is uncertain due to the presence of a "magic fence," but his stray companions assure him it's not real. Despite his hesitation, Chester decides to take the leap and escape the yard to join them. Unfortunately, the invisible electric fence shocks him, causing him to fall flat on his belly. Hunter, clearly surprised, exclaims that the magical fence is indeed real, while the other strays cheer.
Strays offers a unique perspective on the world through the eyes of a dog, employing a raunchier and more vulgar comedic approach instead of the typical wholesome perspective often seen in dog-centric movies. In Strays, the dogs, who likely have experienced neglect and abuse prior to roaming the streets, take matters into their own paws by seeking revenge on Reggie's owner. This clip highlights how aspects of daily life with dogs, such as an electric fence, can be perceived by dogs with a darker comedic twist.
Directed by Josh Greenbaum and written by Dan Perrault, Strays boasts a stellar cast that includes Will Ferrell, Jamie Foxx, Will Forte, Isla Fisher, Randall Park, Josh Gad, Harvey Guillén, Rob Riggle, Brett Gelman, Jamie Demetriou, and Sofia Vergara. This R-rated film has a runtime of 93 minutes.
