Strays (2023)
9/10
The most fun and funniest film you will see this year!
9 September 2023
A bunch of us showed up late to the movie theatre planning on seeing another drama-action movie, but it was sold out, so we unwillingly went in to see this one as there were no other closer showtimes for other secondary choices, as this film would've never been a choice. Man, were we in for a shockingly pleasant surprise.

We never noticed the R rating and thus we all expected some Disney animation family-friendly film, and wow were we ever wrong, for the better. I can't remember the last time I heard myself, my friends, and an entire theatre burst out in such loud laughter. This film was juvenile, absurd, ridiculous, obnoxious, profane, raunchy, ludacris, outlandish... and we all LOVED IT!

The casting was perfection, especially Fox and Park. After overcoming the initial shock at the beginning with all the swearing, and realizing this movie is in fact, NOT a Disney animated family-friendly film, we couldn't stop laughing. The entire theatre either had a perma smile or was laughing out loud. Not only was the comedy bang on, but there was actually a sweet and heartfelt story to this, and that just added to the entire entertainment factor. I mean there's some scenes in this film that you'd never even think about visualizing, let alone seeing them on film, and that bold audacity to put them in a movie is why this is a must see comedy. It was absolutely brilliant as it was hilarious, and we loao.

My friends and I vowed to buy this once it's out on DVD, reconvene at one of our homes, add munchies, alcoholic beverages and some recreational pharmaceuticals - strictly for medicinal purposes of course, and re-watch this at least one more time. Imagine how much more laughter there will be under the aforementioned conditions. Yes, it's one of those films that would be even more appreciated under the proper environment and mindset.

This little gem is one of those films we all didn't know we need to see. If you haven't seen the trailer, don't, go in blind like we all did, the shock factor will add to the entertainment value, I promise. It's a well deserved 9/10 paws, woof, woof.
