Show Dogs emerges as a high-concept family comedy that manages to avoid being taken for the runt of the litter, even if it doesn't really bring anything fresh and different to the arena
it's a simple enough plot to follow, but "Show Dogs" is so padded and uncertain of itself --it's only 90 minutes, easily half of that feels like extraneous filler-- characters are constantly explaining the plot as it happens in exposition
