If you’ve seen the red-band trailer for Strays, you know the dog-centric, live-action new comedy is profane and outrageous, slapstick and amusing in that distinctly stoner-friendly way.

Consequence
Strays has a surprisingly large joke density, and quite a few of them land in an unexpected way.

Es muy divertida la verdad, me recuerda un poco a la película Bad Boys, pero no se por qué carajo le pusieron de nombre Hijos de P*rra en LATAM...

The Hollywood Reporter
Even with its brief 93-minute running time, Strays feels thin and repetitive; after all, there are only so many times you can laugh at, say, a dog happily eating another’s dog vomit. But the film nonetheless delivers plenty of laughs, making up for many of its clunkers through sheer volume and the talents of its starry voice cast.

The incongruity is shocking at first but wears off after a while, making Strays a good and funny bet for stumbling over while channel-surfing (or whatever the streaming version of that is), but not a lot more.

So what’s missing? The usual scarcities in modern screen comedy: visual finesse and some wit to go with the gross-out stuff. Little things start adding up against Strays.

Total Film
A swearing dog voiced by Jamie Foxx is funny – once. Having set up its ribald premise, however, Strays – an R-rated riposte to such talking-pooch heart-stirrers as 2017’s A Dog’s Purpose, complete with cameos from that film’s stars – has to relentlessly and tiresomely up the ante, plastering the screen with so many peeing, pooping, and humping tail-waggers it feels more like A Dog’s Porno.

Little White Lies
he 93-minute runtime is mostly padded out by a plethora of jokes about dicks and bodily fluids which might amuse a group of nine-year-old boys, but is unlikely to impress anyone whose prefrontal cortex has fully formed.

good movie for dog lovers. It's strange to see a large number of negative reviews. The film is funny, there is a lot of dark humor, but it is quite adequate. Briefly speaking. love your dogs! We have a corgi and we adore her, well, I hope so)

By trailer I had high hopes for this movie but was left a bit disappointed. I enjoy dog movies and some jokes were quite funny, but some were just stupid and the plot at times got too dumb or predictable too. Of course it is a talking dog movie, so I am allowing some of those things here

I mean, fun concept and fairly good animation. The humor gets old quickly, though.

Dogs say ****- know in advance that is like 50% of the jokes in this film. The other 50% are dog jokes. I won't pretend there isn't the OCCASIONAL joke that hits- I mean, you'd HOPE there would be, they're rapid fire and literally your whole cast are comedians, if there aren't at least a couple of good ones, then I wouldn't even know what to say. And to be honest, I'm not even sure if the jokes themselves are funny so much as the timing. But **** know what you're watching- and the movie doesn't pretend to be anything it isn't. It's an irreverent comedy about, again...Dogs saying ****. If you watch this movie, that is what you're gonna get. If that sentence didn't make you laugh out loud, then it isn't for you.
