Greenbaum is very excited to have landed that R-rating with a bunch of foul-mouthed animals.
The Big Picture Families have, for years, enjoyed the wholesome entertainment that comes with live-action dog movies. From everything the Air Bud franchise has to offer to Milo and Otis, there's been no shortage of films over the years that highlight man's best friend and all the joy they can bring. Strays, however, is not one of those films.
Greenbaum, like the film itself in all of its marketing, wears that R-rating like a badge of honor. When asked how he felt making a bit of history with Strays, he told Weintraub: Strays Revels in Its R-Rating With the many, many ideas which have been explored in Hollywood, the fact that crass live-action talking dogs have never come to life before is a bit of a shock. Strays absolutely revels in being the first to take a crack at the idea with these pups not just cursing like sailors, but drinking booze out of an alley, humping garden gnomes, and getting way too high on mushrooms.
