The wife and I watched this movie this past weekend when it popped up on movies-on-demand. The preview looked funny and the movie didn't disappoint! The movie has been described as "Best in Show" meets Porky's and that's pretty accurate. It's a "mockumentary" with a surprising amount of nudity.
The supposed documentary is about a "wife show" similar to the Westminster dog show. The wives go through various domestic challenges like holding a tray of beers while managing an obstacle course. But the bulk of movie is about the various contestants, ranging from the upscale third-generation competitor to likable trailer trash, while they train for the competition. It also spends a lot of time on the sleazy promoter and his inexplicably devoted assistant with their travails trying to "update" the competition from a family values-style show to something decidedly more raunchy.
One of my favorite parts was when the trailer trash wife was "training" by walking on the treadmill while doing her phone sex job.
All the mostly unknown actors do a very nice job. Standouts were Damon Guerrasio as the sleazy jerk promoter, and Ed Jiovanni as the hilariously foul-mouthed husband of the trailer park contestant.
