Strays (released 8/18/23)

I have mixed feelings about this one. If you turn on your 12-year-old brain, this movie is amazing. If you turn on your adult brain, it’s a bit much. This was written like every character was clueless as to how messed up the things they were saying were. I do see the comedy in that but it never stops. It is an ok movie but it may as well be an old-school Blink-182 in-between-songs comedy bit. It has some funny moments but maybe save this one for streaming.
