    No comment on this movie in particular beyond love Will Forte, hate the talking dogs/mouth moving thing.

    I just wanted to say THANK YOU for starting to sticky threads with new movies to facilitate discussion!!! This is one of the things I liked about the movies community in the other place. And setting up these threads takes a lot of work!

      Will forte is not in this movie. It’s will Ferrell.

      I honestly think the movie looks like garbage. But that’s just me. If it were forte, I might actually reserve my judgement. But it’s not. It’s will Ferrell, and the man hasn’t had the most stellar record since…well, that’s up for debate. But it’s been a minute.

      Edit: ah, my bad errybody, Forte is in it. Still… if it were him fronting the poster and being the main draw, I might feel differently about it. But right now it just feels like another “sausage party” type “non-family friendly family movie” with big names to put butts in seats. Stupid, raunchy humor just because you “can” isn’t my type of humor. I dunno, maybe I’ll be proven wrong when everyone tells me I need to see it and then I’ll enjoy it. Guess we’ll find out. But I had similar feelings about anchorman 2 or, well, sausage party. It’s gonna be dumb and doesn’t seem worth my time

    4/5 from the guardian reviewer, after watching the trailer I personally have 0 interest in this

      I like the fact that it’s rated r and has salty themes and language, not everything needs to be for kids…and love Jamie Fox and Will Frerrel but also have zero interest. Nothing in the trailer was remotely funny. Oh I’m a dog imma fuck that couch. Seems like it would be funny but somehow still wasn’t.

    This looks like a great movie. FOR ME TO POOP ON!

    Sorry, there aren’t many opportunities as good as this one to bust out Triumph the Insult Comic Dog jokes these days. Anyway, I’ve seen the trailer far too many times in front of other movies, and it looks a bit crap. I’m willing to be persuaded otherwise but that is what I’m assuming.

    Curious to see the success of this movie based on the general population’s appreciation for dogs.
