The horny canine heroes of ‘Fixed.’ – Credit: Netflix<\/p>\n
The thing about puppies is, they start out all small and cute and oh-so-adorable. Look at their puppy paws, way too big for their itty-bitty widdle bodies! Listen to their playful woofs and yips, as they tumble around and trip over themselves! Feel how fuzzy their rolly-polly bellies are, as you give the lil\u2019 buddies an affectionate tummy scratch! Then they get older, and bigger, and more attuned to the interests of pets of a certain age. Biology starts to work its magic, as it does on all of God\u2019s beautiful creatures. And the next thing you know, the family dog is frantically fucking grandma\u2019s leg like like there\u2019s no tomorrow.<\/p>\n
Genndy Tartakovsky\u2019s Fixed kicks off with this 0-to-60 mph progression, as a family brings home a baby bull terrier named, naturally, Bull. Cue a quick \u201cTwo years later\u201d title card, and we find our hero en flagrante delecto with Nana\u2019s varicose-veined calf. To say that the running commentary accompanying this animated pooch\u2019s sexual encounter is pornographic would be putting it lightly; we\u2019ll just note that Bull is extremely verbal. After being shoo-ed away by his owners before he\u2019s reached a state of release, he then proceeds to have intimate relations with a cup of mint ice cream, a rubber ball, an umbrella, a purse, and a bowl of fruit. Finally, a garden hose gets turned on full-blast, and for better or worse, so does Bull.<\/p>\n
More from Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n You\u2019re either laughing hysterically after reading that paragraph above or have the same look on your face that occurs when encountering spoiled milk. And that\u2019s pretty much the either\/or in terms of reactions to this. Tartakovsky is a bona fide legend in modern animation, but Samurai Jack this ain\u2019t, and this attempt to outswim Adult Swim in terms of giddily obscene humor just feels like he binged all of Ren & Stimpy and Ralph Bakshi\u2019s back catalog over a holiday weekend. It\u2019s a gross-out comedy aimed specifically at folks who have calendars of dogs dressed up in human clothes, 12-year-old boys and\/or PornHub addicts in equal measure. The fact that Netflix, who dropped this on its site today, didn\u2019t let him call the movie Doggy Style may be the only sign of restraint here.<\/p>\n You can\u2019t blame Bull (voiced by Adam Devine, who sounds like the only direction he was given was, \u201cDo your best Jack Black impersonation\u201d) for wanting to hump everything in sight. He\u2019s a literal horndog. Nor can you blame him for harboring a crush on Honey (Kathryn Hahn), the queen-bitch Afghan hound who lives next door to him. They\u2019ve been best friends since they were pups, and she sees the kind heart behind the raging hormones. Still, Bull doesn\u2019t understand why Honey is so excited about taking part in a dog show, given that it\u2019s so demeaning to their species. Don\u2019t the judges just parade you around, then poke, prod and grope you? She has issues with that last verb: \u201cThey aren\u2019t groping me,\u201d she protests. \u201cThey are gently touching my body, then judging me on how it feels.\u201d<\/p>\n Bull also runs with a pack of other neighborhood dogs, including an alpha boxer named Rocco (Idris Elba), a nerdy but socially ambitious dachshund named Fetch (Fred Armisen), and a catshit-eating beagle named Lucky (Bobby Moynihan). They spend their days sniffing butts and chasing balls. Speaking of balls: The gang spots one of their peers sporting a cone around his head. He\u2019s just had a medical procedure done, see. And when the big guy turns around, everyone at the dog park notices that he\u2019s conspicuously missing his cojones. Bulls shrieks in terror. He can\u2019t imagine losing his prized possessions.<\/p>\n Then the bull terrier comes home later that afternoon, and starts to get suspicious about why his owners are acting uncharacteristically nice to him. It turns out that he is indeed scheduled to be neutered the next morning. So Bull does what any sensible, testicle-loving mutt would do. He gets the hell outta the house and heads for some imagined Shangri-La where he can perpetually fuck human legs in peace.<\/p>\n From here, Fixed turns into one castration-anxiety punch line and dick joke after another, and while we do love a good dick joke, the whole thing wears out its welcome way too quickly. The manic jazzbo score doesn\u2019t help, even if it\u2019s meant to subversively evoke vintage Hanna-Barbera cartoons, nor does the feeling that Tartakovsky and co-writers Steve Greenberg and Jon Vitti aren\u2019t aiming for the funniest anthropomorphic gags so much merely plucking every low-hanging-fruit \u2014 pun 1000-percent intended in this case \u2014 in bulk. The closest thing to an imaginative set piece involves a kennel and the command to \u201cBellagio these fuckers,\u201d which, yeah. Don\u2019t ask. Meanwhile, you wonder if Dave Chappelle wrote the scenes involving an intersex Dobermann voiced by River Gallo.<\/p>\n There\u2019s also a love triangle involving Bull, Honey, and a snooty Borzoi (Beck Bennett) which is meant to gird all of the self-conscious raunchiness with rom-com sweetness, and somehow makes the whole affair feel even more phony and half-baked. Fixed should have been, by any measure, the fix we needed in terms of balls-out hilarity about neurotic, sex-crazed creatures, or even just a parable from an animation godhead about humans being just as beholden to animal instincts as our four-legged friends. Instead, we get a wildly uneven, totally obvious, and often painfully unfunny 80 minutes. It\u2019s enough to drive you nuts.<\/p>\n Best of Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for RollingStone’s Newsletter<\/a>.
