We view the major characters in their home settings, preparing to take their dogs to a classy dog show. Figuring it has to get better, we keep watching. Half way through the show we decide to go ahead and watch it to the end thinking, we paid for it, we might as well see if it gets any better.

Well, it doesn't. You meet a couple who end up having financial trouble which is kinda funny but these days all too serious for some folks. To get some extra chuckles out of that, the Hotel Manager finds them a room. A broom closet which they can stay in since they're financially strapped.

Then there's the good ol' country boy and his blood hound. A very good looking dog, in fact, all of the dogs were truly show winners in this film. If you're a dog lover, you'll enjoy the excellent examples of the different breeds they use to make the picture. Well, the good ol' boy is dumber than dirt or at least portrayed that way. Why couldn't we have a smart country boy - there are a few of us around.

Throw in the pair of Gays with their dog, the pair of Lesbians with their pompuous poodle who's always won, a couple who should be headed to their psychiatrist's office instead of the show and a few other non-descript characters and tell each of their stories before getting to the dog show.

Of course, you have to have the show manager describe his feelings. Then you get a screwball announcer who wants to tell jokes along side one who is oh so serious about the show. Your couple who should go to the Dr. have a dog who needs a shrink too and ends up getting them kicked out of the show.

You get the feeling the producer wants you to believe that the poodle who won the last two years in a row is about to win again. But that wouldn't make the show work. So the couple who is financially strapped add comedy when she twists her knee and can't go on, he takes the dog out with his two left feet (no kidding, they have him wearing two left shoes) and wins the Best In Show prize.

Finally, the show ends by showing you the outcome of the stars lives. Our confused couple are at the Dr's office with their new pooch who's enjoying the doc's leg as his play space. The country boy is do ventriliquism (poorly) which he had been practicing during breaks of the show. The gay couple are - well - still together, enjoying each other, and looking forward to trying again. The lesbians, together, running a business and who cares. The winners, well, their lives have dramatically changed. Heros in their hometown, financially stable, and the dog show just made their lives wonderful. Right, you'd think they won the lotto.

That's it, it's finally over, and you sit there and think "so, where's the punch line". It was really that bad.
