The basic premise for this movie: If they have the dogs throw the F-word in almost every sentence it’ll be hilarious. Most of the time it ain’t. Will Farrell voices the lead dog, who’s abandoned by his cruel owner (Will Forte) and ends up with a pack of canine friends, including Jamie Foxx, Randall Park & Isla Fisher. They roam around getting into trouble while spouting wise cracks. In case you’re wondering, they used live dogs most of the time, but the CGI of them talking is impressive. There’s a high energy and lively rapport that keeps things moving, but this canine adventure is trying too hard to make raunchy jokes. It’s more about fun than funny.
