This is the first alien movie in a long time that, in my opinion, succeeds in making the aliens scary again. The visual effects are impressive, with little to no uncanny scenes.

He shows the side of Cooper, who loves his family, while demonstrating his quick-thinking and sociopathic tendencies. The movie was entertaining as there were constantly changing circumstances, and Cooper had to adjust his plans. It encouraged the audience to guess what would happen next as events unfolded.

While much of the comedy is straight forward, I enjoyed some of the more subtle jokes such as jabs at other dog-centric films like A Dog’s Purpose . Will Ferrell and Jamie Foxx do an exceptional job voicing the main characters and truly bring them to life. The Bad Once again, Strays is a crude comedy, but sadly i
