Warning: Spoilers
I saw Strays, starring Will Forte-MacGruber_tv, The Last Man on Earth_tv; and the voices of Will Ferrell-Barbie, the Anchorman movies; Jamie Foxx-the Spider_Man movies, Baby Driver and Isla Fisher-Tag, Hot Rod.

This is the first live action movie with talking animals to ever get an R rating in the USA. Real dogs are used in about 95% of the movie, too-there is a short scene that uses animation when the dogs have eaten some mushrooms. Let me start by saying this movie is not for kids. It contains graphic language, among other things. Plotwise; Will Forte is a loser. The only reason he has Will Ferrell/Reggie is because his ex girlfriend wanted the dog and he didn't want her to have the dog when she left him-yep, he did it for spite. Forte hates the dog so much that he plays a game of fetch with Ferrell by driving far from his house and throwing the ball and then driving home. Ferrell always finds his way home. Finally, after Forte drives many miles from home, lost Ferrell meets some stray dogs and he becomes friends with them. Jamie and Isla voice a couple of the strays who take Ferrell under their training and they all get into trouble as they try to get Ferrell home so that Ferrell can bite off a body part of Forte's-See? Not for kids. There is a cameo of Dennis Quaid as a bird watcher. Overall, some parts are funny and some are not. There is a scene just as the end credits start but nothing at the very end.

It's rated R for language, drug use and sexual content-no nudity but lots of graphic talking about sex-and has a running time of 1 hour & 33 minutes.

If you like raunchy humor, you should enjoy streaming this one.
