When Anne’s beloved dog is kidnapped, the stakes get higher, and the two sisters go on an outrageous cross-country road trip to get the cash to cover the gambling debts.
Not a kid’s movie. In that case, it might be time for some sweet revenge, doggy style.
When Reggie, played by Will Ferrell, a naïve, relentlessly optimistic Border Terrier, becomes an abandoned dog. He’s left on the mean city streets by his lowlife owner, Doug, played by Will Forte. Reggie is sure that his beloved owner will never leave him on purpose.
Reggie falls in with a fast-talking, foul-mouthed Boston Terrier named Bug, played by Jamie Foxx, a stray who loves his freedom and believes owners are for suckers. Reggie finally realizes Doug is in a toxic relationship and sees Doug for the heartless sleazeball that he is.
Determined to seek revenge, Reggie, Bug and Bug’s pals—Maggie, played by Isla Fisher, a brilliant Australian Shepherd whose owner’s new puppy has sidelined, and Hunter, played by Randall Park, an anxious Great Dane who’s stressed out by his work as an emotional support animal. Together, the dogs hatch a plan and embark on an epic adventure to help Reggie find his way home and make Doug pay by biting off the appendage he loves the most.
Written by Jesse Armstrong and directed by Nat Faxon and Jim Rash, Downhill stars Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Will Ferrell, Miranda Otto, Zach Woods, Zoë Chao, Julian Grey, Ammon Jacob Ford, and Kristofer Hivju.
The movie is an adaptation of the 2014 Golden Globe-nominated Swedish film Force Majeure. Barely escaping an avalanche during a ski vacation in the Alps throws the seemingly picture-perfect family into disarray as they forced to reevaluate life and how they genuinely feel about each other.
The movie is available on disc formats as well as streaming.
Said Julia Louis-Dreyfus from the set: “(I’m) thrilled to have completed my first day of filming with Jim and Nat and Will Ferrell and my friends at Likely Story here in Austria; it’s all downhill from here.”
“Obviously, Searchlight is like family at this point,“ said directors Nat Faxon and Jim Rash. “We’re honored to be working with them for the third time. But, to also have our paths cross with Julia, and a fellow Groundling alum in Will makes this all the more special and exciting for us.”
Julia Louis-Dreyfus is fantastic in the next movie clip, and Ferrell plays off her so nicely.
I am not quite sure what is happening here in this scene, but I guess it is right before the avalanche.
Written and directed by Etan Cohen, starring two funny guys – Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly are reunited – this time playing Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous detective and his assistant biographer in what looks like a ridiculous version of Holmes & Watson.
