’ conceit is that its anthropomorphic dogs curse, speak profanely about sex, and defecate and urinate on all sorts of things—including themselves. Its prime potty mouth is Bug , a Boston terrier who resides on the streets and lives by three rules: if you want something, pee on it; if you desire something, hump it; and without a master, you’re on your own.
Bug is a champion of uninhibited freedom, although as voiced by Foxx he’s mostly just an irreverent tough guy who thinks it’s hilarious to drop the F-bomb in. While well-timed and inventive cursing can certainly be amusing, Dan Perrault’s dismal script uses it as a crutch to amplify the action’s naughtiness quotient and, as is soon painfully apparent, to compensate for an absence of actual wit.’ main vehicle for outrageousness says much about the film.
After multiple failed attempts, Doug finally abandons Reggie in a distant metropolis. Reggie assumes his sorry situation is his own fault, and at this and other moments, he comes across as a victim of domestic abuse. Unfortunately, the film is so lame that it doesn’t mine that dynamic for obvious dogs-are-like-humans gags. Instead, Reggie’s quasi-battered-spouse syndrome is simply a sign that he’s a naïve nitwit, and Ferrell’s performance casts him as a four-legged version of’s visuals.
Bug discovers Reggie in an alley and takes him under his wing, teaching him how to survive in the urban jungle and introducing him to his friends Maggie , an Australian shepherd with a terrific sense of smell who’s lost favor with her superficial owner, and Hunter , a Great Dane who serves as a therapy dog and wears a cone around his head due to his anxiety.
Together, they bond at a local pizzeria, where they eat scraps and get drunk on beer. This is supposed to be all-caps WACKY , and so too are their ensuing hijinks, from puking and crapping to dry-humping every object in sight, whether it’s a couch or a garden gnome . There’s also a running joke about the impressive size of Hunter’s member, culminating in a scene in which the Great Dane tries to break the quartet out of animal-control jail by snagging keys with his boner.
