i really miss these typeof comedies! Last time i really laughed my ass off, was Tropic Thunder, and now this (finally). Im also a dog lover, so it hit home. I hope the movie will make much money, so this kind of humour wont be extinct.
I remember seeing movies like the 1st Scary Movie or American Pie and couldn't believe how far they were pushing the envelope. And I Totally agree about dogs. We don't deserve them. And if I ever get a dog again it's going to be an Australian sheperd.
A lot of folks are going to be buying Australian Shepherds after seeing this flick. Absolutely precious. As far as Scary Movie and American Pie, it was a great time to be alive. Comedy blockbusters like There's Something About Mary used to be the norm and now they're completely dead.
I actually got back from seeing the film Strays yesterday and I really enjoyed it also it might just be me but I actually felt that Hunter was very autism coded which I think is good because I have autism myself and I just related a lot to him
Glad to hear it is good! I just checked a list of R rated comedies from the 2010s and I think the last American full-on comedy I saw at the cinema was This is the End 10 years ago!
@@geekinwithJamesHancock Yeah, after the mid 2010s they pretty much went extinct and although in recent years I enjoyed movies like Ingrid Goes West, Sorry to Bother You, Red Rocket or The Banshees of Inisherin they definitely deal with serious stuff too so they're not that type if movie. In tv, I definitely recommend you Atlanta if you haven't seen it yet.
Glad this passed your standards. I never walk out of movies, so that means a lot! Was really bummed this didn't do well on its opening weekend, because it might mean the studios get even more tight with approving more of them. That's an awesome story about your grandpa retiring from movies.
Luckily here in NYC, I still get treated to amazing stand up comedy at the various clubs around town but in cinema the comedy genre is in the worst condition I have ever seen. It was a relief to see one that was pretty good.
The fact that comedy is at an all time low (at the movies. Stand up wise it’s at an all time high) does not mean that it’s dead. Have little faith in the rare breed of creators that want to push to make it work again.
We need another Yorgos Lanthimos Dark Comedy! I think thats my kind of humor. Although lately, I think unintenionally bad movies have sort of replaced comedy in films. Gonna have to check this one out. Thanks as always James!
Luckily we have not one but two Lanthimos movies right around the corner. His latest short film and feature film will both be featured at this year's New York Film Festival.
It’s crazy that I’m actually looking forward to an Isla Fisher movie that’s robs us of the gift that is seeing Isla Fisher. Yet here I am. That’s just how much I love dogs I guess.
I read a lot of reviews stating that the film could not get out of its own way when it came to excessive heavy-handed messaging, but I'll definitely watch it online before cooking up my top 10 of 2023 at the end of the year.

If we are being honest you can tell a person's intelligence and character by the jokes they tell, over the long haul (since every now and again raunchy can be funny). I saw 3 or 4 scenes of this and didn't care for it. Imo drug jokes aren't funny when it comes after usage (here it's innocent, the dogs don't know), should be condescending
I can't quite tell if you are insulting my intelligence or the intelligence of those who made this movie. As far as drug jokes and what subjects can be funny are concerned, everything is fair game. Anything can be funny.
I've already had this convo with boogie years ago, boogie2988 or something. If you can literally laugh at anything thats quite the superpower. I've probably never seen a comedian hit on all cylinders. Bill Burr is the most awkward, I mean those are the pro's and they don't land all the time. I don't think everything is fair game. If we are talking globally, yes there may be a percentage but if its low enough I'd have to ask those few to "make their case" frankly

Glad Jamie is feeling better. That’s two good movies for him this year (Strays and They Cloned Tyrone)
Yep you are my type of guy. You even cussing during your commentary.....LMAO! Yes I will be watching this movie!!!
I actually got back from seeing the film Strays yesterday and I really enjoyed it also it might just be me but I actually felt that Hunter was very autism coded which I think is good because I have autism myself and I just related a lot to him
Just went to watch this movie. AWESOME!!! THose poor bunnies!!! LMAO!
😂This movie was hilarious in dark comedy. I will say, know your limits of how mature you want your comedy to stretch.
F&F for the win!
Fetch and fuck will definitely catch on with some folks after this flick.
@@geekinwithJamesHancock Ferrel and Fox....lol
Trailers were hilarious.
Glad to hear it is good! I just checked a list of R rated comedies from the 2010s and I think the last American full-on comedy I saw at the cinema was This is the End 10 years ago!
I caught This is the End in the theater as well. That was right around the time that the genre started drying up entirely.

I'm shocked. I honestly thought this movie was going to be movie to skip
By some miracle, the movie is actually pretty funny.
Jamie Foxx is HILARIOUS!!!!
Thanks James👍I look forward to seeing this one 💚🇬🇧🌱
I'll be very curious to see how well this plays. I expect opening weekend will be modest but we'll see if word of mouth helps give it some momentum.

Comedy is dead but I'm glad you had a good time.

I am very surprised tbh. I saw the trailers, and rolled my eyes. Maybe I'll give it a shot
If you didn't like the red band trailer, I'd hold off until it hits VOD.
This is such a good movie-I don't understand the hate. It's both gross and offensive, but also has heart. :)
It’s crazy that I’m actually looking forward to an Isla Fisher movie that’s robs us of the gift that is seeing Isla Fisher. Yet here I am. That’s just how much I love dogs I guess.
We walked out after about an hour. I'd rather watch Family Guy.
James you didn’t watch Joyride? It was pretty good
I read a lot of reviews stating that the film could not get out of its own way when it came to excessive heavy-handed messaging, but I'll definitely watch it online before cooking up my top 10 of 2023 at the end of the year.
So you're saying it's like "The Incredible Journey"? Funniest canine film since "White Dog"?
Caught White Dog at the American Cinemateque shortly before Fuller's death but sadly he was not in attendance.

Well this is a strong contender for my favorite comment I've ever received on this channel. Have an amazing day!

well lets keep it open onthe insulting your intelligence bit, LOL @@geekinwithJamesHancock

most the convo with himwas maybe in my head and a little in twitch chat or on twitter, can't remember actually so forget all that
Bwahahaha you are so low brow sometimes. Awesome.
Absolutely. When it comes to comedy, I love high brow, low brow, and everything in between.
I love a good comedy but studios are too afraid to push boundaries for fear of being cancelled by the woke mob.
This is a rare exception that managed to slip through the cracks. Perhaps society is not doomed to a humorless future after all.
@@geekinwithJamesHancockDon’t forget about Homeward Bound, the unrated version (rare) is 🔥.
Homeward Bound+rated R = I'm there for tomorrow night!!!
Nice! Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
