With such a riotously crude premise, you might not expect a particularly deep film, but there is some narrative weight here.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 18, 2024

Personally, I want these strays to go to a good home, if only so I don’t have to see them ever again.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Jul 12, 2024

Your enjoyment of gross-out, profanity laced humour will decide if this is a must watch or not, but despite there being ample ground to farm, the film feels all too happy to roll around in its dog filth.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 5, 2024

I laughed harder and more frequently than just about any movie this year.

| Original Score: B | Dec 4, 2023

More heartbreaking than funny...

It’s fun, vulgar and represents one of those films meant to be enjoyed on multiple occasions late at night with beers and friends. There exist other things in life that are worse for you.

| Original Score: B- | Oct 12, 2023

While Strays is categorized as a comedy, writer Dan Perrault (American Vandal) relies primarily on sex and toilet humor to bring on the laughs.

| Original Score: 2.5 | Oct 10, 2023

Visually, director Josh Greenbaun doesn't offer anything surprising. [Full review in Spanish]

| Oct 5, 2023

The idea behind the movie is as stimulating as it is absurd. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 2, 2023

If you like dog-poop gags, you are in for a treat. ... If dog poop makes you gag, you might want to pass on this one.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 23, 2023

I might have liked it more if I saw it when I was thirteen - although many of the movies I saw back then STILL make me laugh - but today, I can't fully recommend it. It's different, yes, but unfortunately, it disappointed me. Full review in Spanish.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Sep 19, 2023

The weird thing about “Strays” is that the few really good jokes aren’t reliant on poop or penises or profanity, but good solid dog humor. … Those jokes are themselves strays, lost and in need of a good home.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 10, 2023

Sometimes you get blindsided by a slab of puerile, asinine comedy and you have no choice but to submit to it as your better judgment and notions of good taste expeditiously swirl straight down the crapper.

| Sep 8, 2023

It less resembles a comedy movie than one 12-year-old blurting out “penis!” and 15 other kids giggling.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 7, 2023

Strays tries too hard to be edgy without nailing enough actual jokes…Josh Greenbaum’s film aims at something scattershot and scatological, but ends up feeling like something of a dog’s dinner...

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 7, 2023

It's uneven and should be sharper than it is, but is the dog movie equivalent of Bad Santa. Very scatological and obscene, but very funny.

| Sep 7, 2023

For audiences who want to just guffaw over bawdy humour coming out of the mouths of cute pups, Strays will be a winner and will probably have them howling. For anyone who wants a scintilla of humour that isn’t juvenile, they’d best move on.

While cinematic canines have wagged across the silver screen since Rin Tin Tin’s heyday, Strays stands out by recognizing that any “man’s best friend” sentiment does neither side any favors.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 31, 2023

An average, predictable script is rescued from being truly irredeemable by an excellent cast of voice actors and a few bright jokes.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Aug 31, 2023

Greenbaum and Perrault work the R-rated premise to the breaking point and more often than not, beyond, delivering a steady diet of anatomical and excremental humour with almost admirable regularity.
