STRAYS - In Theaters August 18
Strays is a comedic and subversive live-action film that takes a fresh spin on the classic dog movie genre. The story centers around Reggie, a kind-hearted Border Terrier, who is abandoned by his heartless owner, Doug. Naively believing it was a mistake, Reggie teams up with a foul-mouthed Boston Terrier named Bug, who introduces him to a world where dogs prioritize their freedom over being owned.
As Reggie bonds with Bug and two other misfit dogs, Maggie and Hunter, he begins to realize the toxic nature of his previous relationship with Doug. Determined to seek revenge, Reggie, Bug, and their pals embark on an epic adventure to find Reggie's way back home and make Doug pay for his heartlessness in a humorous and entertaining manner.
Directed by Josh Greenbaum and written by Dan Perrault, Strays offers a hilarious and R-rated experience, exploring the complications of love, the significance of genuine friendships, and the unexpected lessons learned from life as a dog.
