I have to admit, I have a weakness for the Christopher Guest mockumentaries. This film is terrifically funny (especially if you've ever known anyone who participates in dog shows). Of all the Guest films, I think this one has the most well-developed characters and the most thoughtful story arc. Although mockumentaries are, by their nature, a bit outlandish, this one never feels excessively over the top--even Fred Willard as the crazy commentator ("I went to one of those obedience places once. It was all going well until they spilled hot candle wax on my private parts.") seems like a legitimate spoof of the commentator you might get for an off-Broadway dog show. Great times, this.
