Review: Off the chain and ready to sniff you up, ‘Strays’ is, at root, a typical tail of vengeance
LA TimesWhat to make of “Strays,” a proudly raunchy, decidedly R-rated comedy about a pack of stray dogs on a brash journey of revenge against one’s abusive owner? A scene from the movie “Strays.” With the added help of Bug’s stray pals — Hunter, an anxious, neck-cone-wearing Great Dane, and Maggie, a smart Australian shepherd with a super sense of smell — Reggie begins to see how Doug is nothing but a cruel, pet-loathing lowlife. En route, we’re treated to a hit-or-miss barrage of comedic bits involving a pizza-and-beer blowout, crazy-making fireworks, a rapacious eagle, a four-way urination ritual, a smeary dog-pound escape, an unfortunate rabbit incident and much else. And lest anyone think the movie’s randy-animals conceit is especially groundbreaking, more than 50 years ago came the hyper-bawdy counterculture classic “Fritz the Cat,”.
