"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.

Plot Summary: This story follows a quirky group of dog owners and their beloved canines as they compete in the prestigious Mayflower Kennel Club Dog Show. It highlights the eccentric personalities and relationships of the participants in this competitive world. Through a series of interviews and behind-the-scenes glimpses, we see the various preparations, anxieties, and comical situations that arise on their journey to win "Best in Show".

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 canine owners. We have 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, we get to chew on laughs galore.
