Best in Show
Some pets deserve a little more respect than others.
Directed by Christopher Guest
Produced by Castle Rock Entertainment
A lighthearted mockumentary celebrating the absurd passion and quirky humanity of dog show competitors and their beloved pets.
The tension is palpable, the excitement is mounting and the heady scent of competition is in the air as hundreds of eager contestants from across America prepare to take part in what is undoubtedly one of the greatest events of their lives -- the Mayflower Dog Show. The canine contestants and their owners are as wondrously diverse as the great country that has bred them.
