The plot in a sentence? A "mockumentary" of a major dog show and it's participants. I found this movie to be very funny. The caricatures of personalities were great and in reading other reviews, I suspect that's what some people disliked. Perhaps they're a little too close to the mark. If you can't laugh at the faults and foibles of human nature, you won't find anything amusing here. I recognized three of the characters as people I know in real life and they were satirized perfectly. And I've most certainly had encounters with all of the others. A film well worth the time if you enjoy satire.

Follow Me, Boys!
(1966)
When Individuals Mattered
21 June 2001
Follow Me, Boys! is a feel good film with an impressive cast. It's a snapshot of a time when there was a true sense of community that we rarely see today. A time when personal values carried more weight than profits.
The film delivers a powerful message of just how much difference a single person can make by leading through example. I think with today's media glut of flashy superstardom and wealth and narcissism, many us have lost sight of how much force there is in simply being a kind and honest person. I certainly walked away re-evaluating some of my motivations and behaviors. Just how do I affect the people around me on a daily basis?
