"This is a comedy even cat lovers might adore."—David Ansen, Newsweek

"One of the most creative, original, entertaining comedies of 2000."—Betsy Bozdech, Reel.com

"Call it a mockumentary or a dogumentary, Christopher Guest's latest spoof is a very funny, improvised comedy about the world of dog shows."—Judith Egerton, Courier-Journal (Louisville, KY)

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.
