It’s completely funny
“Strays,” the canine comedy featuring the voice talents of Will Ferrell, Jamie Foxx and a host of other stars, has only a handful of “human” roles.
There’s Will Forte as Doug, a pothead who abandons his poor dog Reggie (Ferrell) in the middle of the big city in an attempt to get rid of him.
Reggie befriends a clever wanderer named Bug (Foxx) and they are eventually joined by Hunter (Randall Park) and Maggie (Isla Fisher). As the group attempts to trace Reggie’s journey to Doug’s house, they encounter some outrageous characters, including a prominent actor.
Spoiler alert: read on if you want to know who the celebrity is in “Strays.”
As stray animals make their way through an open field, an eagle swoops in and flies away with Bug. Reggie tries to save his friend by squeezing Bug’s leg in an attempt to knock the bird to the ground.
The entire show is captured by avid birder Dennis Quaid.
“It’s the craziest thing I’ve ever seen, and Dennis Quaid has seen some crazy bullshit,” the actor marvels.
Of course, Quaid has starred in dozens of movies over the years, including “A Dog’s Purpose” and “A Dog’s Journey,” adapted from W. Bruce Cameron’s bestsellers.
These movies also feature talking dogs, but are obviously much more family-friendly than “Strays,” which is full of expletives and literal toilet humor.
“Strays” pokes fun at “A Dog’s Purpose” and “A Dog’s Journey” by including Gus, a golden retriever the strays meet at a carnival.
Gus “tells” his owner’s story to the strays, but they are not interested. The retriever’s story takes a twist when he reveals his owner is actually a mass murderer. Gus is voiced by none other than Josh Gad, who voices the dogs in “A Dog’s Purpose” and “A Dog’s Journey.”
