Sun Dogs

Sun Dogs is currently streaming in Australia on Netflix, and in the US on Netflix, and it delivers exactly the kind of comedy that earns a loyal following. The runtime earns every minute, with nothing here that feels like padding. Its 6/10 TMDB score, built from 100 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. Michael Angarano is the obvious draw, but the whole ensemble earns its laughs. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Netflix.

Sun Dogs arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. Sun Dogs gets the fundamentals right first, then finds room to get weird with it. A man eager to serve his country but rejected by the Marines pairs up with a young runaway to form an unlikely team on a misguided adventure. Michael Angarano and Melissa Benoist lead a cast that never overplays a joke. Sun Dogs came out in 2017. The timing in Sun Dogs is precise enough that even the throwaway lines land on a second watch. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh, Sun Dogs is a strong candidate. It stands on its own even without an obvious comparison point. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch from start to finish. Michael Angarano is funny in a way that holds up on rewatch. Put it on when you need something guaranteed to land.

Sun Dogs was released in 2017, directed by Jennifer Morrison. The full 93-minute film is available to watch now.
