Eines Tages wird Reggie, ein naiver, aber gnadenlos optimistischer Border Terrier, von seinem hinterhältigen Besitzer Doug ausgesetzt. Zunächst ist sich Reggie sicher, dass sein geliebtes Herrchen ihn niemals absichtlich im Stich lassen würde. Doch dann trifft der verlassene Vierbeiner auf den ungehobelten Boston Terrier Bug. Der freiheitsliebende Streuner ist überzeugt, dass Hundebesitzer allesamt Schwachköpfe sind. Allmählich erkennt Reggie, dass er in einer toxischen Beziehung zu Doug gefangen war – und beginnt ihn als den herzlosen Widerling zu sehen, der er ist. Reggie und Bug sind fest entschlossen, sich zu rächen. Unterstützung erhalten sie von Bugs Freunden: Da ist zum einen die clevere Australian-Shepherd-Hündin Maggie, die von ihrem Besitzer kurzerhand durch ein neues Hundebaby ersetzt wurde, zum anderen die ängstliche Dogge Hunter, die durch ihre Arbeit als Therapiehund extrem unter Stress steht. Gemeinsam stürzen sich die Streuner in ein turbulentes Abenteuer, um es Doug so richtig heimzuzahlen. Und diese Hunde wollen nicht nur spielen! (Universal Pictures Germany)

Wenn ein unwissendes Elternteil sein Kind zu Doggy Style mitnimmt, um einen weiteren Bailey - Ein Freund fürs Leben zu bekommen - worauf der Film übrigens mehr als einmal verweist (Augenzwinkern, Dennis) - wird er zweifellos eine unangenehme Erleuchtung erleben. Greenbaums Film ist eine teuflische (oder hündische?) Komödie, bei der ich das Gossenvokabular im Kino bewundert habe, insbesondere unsere vulgären Komposita. Das Original wäre stimmlich sicherlich charismatischer, aber verbal sicherlich ärmer gewesen. Doggy Style nimmt kein Blatt vor den Mund und berieseln den Zuschauer mit einem mehr oder weniger gelungenen Spruch nach dem anderen, aber gleichzeitig haben die Macher nicht vergessen, didaktisch zu sein, so dass sich in der Fülle der Schimpfwörter auch einige Lebensweisheiten verstecken. Das Sahnehäubchen auf dieser unangebrachten, perversen Torte mit phallischen Ausdrücken in hundertfacher Ausführung anstelle von Kerzen war die Szene mit Wrecking Ball. P. S. "Sch...t euch durch zu eurer Freiheit!"

When it comes to crude humor, I believe that less is more, a concept apparently lost on the creators of this movie. Surprisingly, even though I'm not a fan of movies involving animals (they tend to overly tug at my heartstrings), this one was pretty decent. Even the swearing wasn't a major issue; the screenwriter was obviously catering to a certain type of audience, so logic took a backseat to a steady supply of chocolate truffles. Anyway, it still made for a fun watch. / Lesson learned: What you pee on is yours.

Regie the dog has just been abandoned by his owner and he finds himself alone in the big city. Fortunately, he stumbles upon other stray dogs and sets out with them on a journey of revenge. Strays is a very simple comedy that stands and falls on harsh jokes, creative use of profanity and slapstick. Simple bollocks, but if you don't mind rougher humor, you'll have a good time for that hour and a half.

A bit of a different dog comedy :)))) A new gem in the comedy genre and an absolute hit! I'm not exaggerating when I say that this is the best comedy in years, it takes everything full on and without pulling any punches it drops one dirty word after another. We don't need to talk about the story, because no one goes to see this film for it, and the only complaint I have is that it gets slightly sentimental towards the end and takes away from the humour, adding to the drama as the minutes go by, but that's only very, very marginal. Otherwise, it's 90 minutes of pure, uncompromising humour that largely rests on an insanely raunchy foundation, going at everyone and everything it can get its hands on, but its ability to be funny even without its profanity adds quite a bit to the points, as it hits so many dog themes perfectly that I can't think of a single one that's left out here. There are jokes at a cadence of 10 per minute, I wasn't bored for a moment, and one joke literally follows another, debates about dog shit, about sniffing butts, about chasing their own tails, or about why dogs actually eat every turd they see, are amazing and I haven't experienced a whole cinema laughing nonstop in a really long time. And then the scene running away from the fireworks at the fair was a great highlight, where the filmmakers also showed their skill with the set and directorial flair. A most entertaining cinema visit and a film that made me laugh brilliantly and one that I will return to often.

A vulgar and original summer ride that has pleasantly revived an almost dead comedy genre, as comedies are even worse than horror movies. Anyone who liked Ted and liked the trailers, for example, will not be offended by Strays. It's an original look at the wild adventures of dogs that can't do without sex, foul language, weasels, shit and a whole lot more. The four main canine characters are very likable and each has their own comedic timing (the Boston Terrier rocks the most though, dropping one crazy line after another). The plot is nothing special, but it doesn't matter. There is plenty of humour, there is plenty of room for laughter, I was surprised by unexpectedly touching moments that had the power to bring tears to the corners of my eyes. It is of course also educational, I enjoyed the allusions to famous dog movies and I liked the details of dog life that are nicely used here (the scene with firecrackers is an unexpected thriller!). There hasn't been a better American-produced comedy in a couple of years (it doesn't have the chops of the French, especially the Lacheau crew, but it's still an excellent addition with the potential to be a cult classic). One of those films you'll be happy to watch again with friends. 85%.
