This ensemble troupe is back with another mockumentary, and it is expectedly funny. Using a style that Robert Altman might enjoy, director Christopher Guest gives us a look into the world of pure-bred dogs and their owners.
We get a glimpse into the lives of the cynophiles even as they prepare to travel to Philadelphia for the big annual dog show competition. They are an odd collection of personalities and they are very entertaining. Though it is difficult to single out any one performance, Catherine O'Hara gets a meaty role as a woman whose adventurous past keeps coming back to haunt her husband, played by Eugene Levy.
What makes the film so fun to watch is how absorbed the characters are in their avocation. Also, they treat their dogs like humans.
