Our monthlong tribute to Catherine O’Hara (1954-2026) kicks off with one of the screen’s most talented comediennes in her absolute element, improvising comic gold in a Christopher Guest mockumentary opposite her Schitt’s Creek co-star Eugene Levy, with whom she’d been working since their pre-fame days at Canadian comedy institution Second City Toronto. 

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.

“It’s always a pleasure to watch this ensemble of gifted talents do what they do best – be spontaneous and funny and surprising. What we get is a master-class demonstration of the distinction between comic actors and comedians who try to act.” – Film.com
