Will Ferrell, Jamie Foxx, Isla Fisher, and Randall Park lend their voices to the lovable dogs in the hilarious new comedy, “Strays.” Universal Pictures has released an exciting featurette for the R-rated film that showcases a unique take on talking dog movies. Unlike typical family-friendly movies, “Strays” amps up the adult humor with foul language and aggression from its furry characters. Director Josh Greenbaum, known for his work on “Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar,” brings his comedic talent to this canine-centric film.
In the featurette, we get a glimpse of the talented voice cast, including Jamie Foxx, Randall Park, and Isla Fisher. They share their favorite aspects of working on a movie that deviates from the norm and delivers a fresh and edgy comedy experience. While many films with talking animals focus on lighthearted complications for family enjoyment, “Strays” breaks the mold with its adult-oriented content.
Jamie Foxx, Randall Park, and Isla Fisher bring the main characters in this story to life. They take on the roles of dogs that have no interest in being cute and cuddly pets. Instead, they teach a new stray dog, played by Will Ferrell, the harsh realities of life on the streets. Ferrell’s character, Reggie, was always sheltered and believed he had a comfortable life with his owner. However, everything changes when he’s abandoned and forced to survive outdoors for the first time.
Bug (Foxx) and Maggie (Fisher) step in to guide Reggie and show him the ropes of street life before anything catastrophic happens. With its R-rating, “Strays” embraces adult humor that isn’t suitable for children, catering to a more mature audience. Director Josh Greenbaum brings his comedic expertise to this film, following the success of “Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar” in 2021.
Looking ahead, Will Ferrell takes on a different kind of comedy adventure in his next project, “Quiz Lady.” The film centers around Anne (played by Awkwafina), a game show enthusiast. When Anne’s beloved dog is kidnapped, she embarks on a cross-country journey with her sister Jenny (Sandra Oh) to participate in game shows and win enough money to rescue her pet. “Quiz Lady” is set to premiere on Hulu on November 3, and includes performances from Tony Hale and Jason Schwartzman.
To get a sneak peek of the star-studded cast of “Strays,” check out the featurette below. The film hits theaters on August 18, delivering a hilarious and unconventional take on the talking dog genre.
