"I went to one of those
obedience places once... it was all going well until
they
spilled hot candle wax on my private parts." - Buck Laughlin
Why watch this? ...
it's an oddball comedy about oddballs, and it's so rewardingly humorous.

Dad's Preview:
This is such a wonderful effort from the warped minds of
Christopher Guest and Eugene Levy. It follows the strange cult
of the Dog Show circuit and the quirks of show canine owners.
Present are over-obsessive yuppies, the gay power couple, the old
country boy and his bloodhound - just to name a few. As they
enthusiastically compete for the grand prize, there are plenty
of laughs for us to chew on. So "Sit!"... and enjoy this spoof
comedy. |
