Warning/Disclaimer: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/animal cruelty/animal bodily functions/decapitation/drugs/references to incest - yes I know it isn't when you come to watch this film, but the references are there/racial slurs/burning/medical. Disclaimer, because of the nature of this film being widely mature, I can't make too much of an in-depth reference, I can make mild references, because I can just soften my language, consequently I will have to be a bit more brief than what I am usually, it isn't because I am being lazy, it is just I know I can't really put it in.

Well let's go on a journey to get you home: in a nutshell; Reggie/other names  [voiced by Will Ferrell:] a Border Terrier, that wants to get home to his owner Doug [Will Forte:] that Reggie thinks Doug loves and cares for him; but in reality Doug hates him and is trying really hard to get rid of Reggie, in actual fact Doug is a waster and never liked Reggie to begin with, Doug just kept him out of spite so his ex-girlfriend couldn't have him. But Reggie will find a group of friends other dogs such as Bug [voiced by Jamie Foxx:] a mixture between a Border Terrier and a Pit Bull, which he is a stray dog and distrusts Humann's.

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 93 minutes film has been settled down to follow the journey outlay, so it is something safe and reliable, in actual fact everything has been set down to follow this outlay. Minus the comedy and adult tone of this film; The only comedy bits and they can make reference to really is where this group of four dogs, eat these magic mushrooms and consequently they go on a nice little trip, in this sequence these characters experience tripping, which is shown by many different artistic[excellent imagination and creativity] things be it cartoon or some form of puppetry [there are two different forms] and at some point we have Dennis Quaid being himself in two scenes, but I will only discuss one in this case I am Dennis Quaid or Because I am Dennis Quaid, something like this from this ballpark. The rest of the comedy is also good, I mean some of it you can expect, because they are dogs, but it is still good.

Character developments, performances and voice performances; in all counts likewise they are all good, the voice performances all have good chemistry and the foursome; now including Maggie [voiced by Isla Fisher:] a Australian Shepherd, that is being neglected by her owner, because her owner got a small dog and does the social media posting thing with the smaller dog now and then we have Hunter [voiced by Randall Park:] a Great Dane that used to work on the police force, but now is a comfort dog which looks after terminally ill people, he also has a Elizabethan collar and Maggie and Hunter fancy one another, but they are both just friends; as you will see this foursome is the driving force behind this film.

This film receives: 6/10, this film is good; just make sure if you or your family, friends or any connection are of the right age for this film which is a 15 [I should just cover my back by saying in the UK] and finally there is an extra scene after the first lot of ending credits.
