I happen to love this director, Christopher Guest, and will see anything he makes. He's full of wit and anarchy and even feeling, and his films are populated with dorks and freaks and silliness, I love it.
This particular film is almost so absurd as to be related to Monty Python. The people are as odd as the dogs, and the performances, as usual, are naturalistic to the point of being documentarian. How he gets these actors to be SO natural is a small miracle in a world of overblown fake acting- by this I mean the state of modern film making.
In any case, I had to see this movie TWICE, that's how funny it is, and that's how curious it is to be let into this world of "Dog Shows".
Absolutely worth renting!
