There was a similar movie years ago starring Jason Bateman, where he enters a spelling bee for kids on a technicality. It's pretty funny.

The guy is chasing after a woman who only appreciates fancy dogs, after failing to ever gain his mothers love-she also only likes fancy dogs. Due to a clerical error, the state of Connecticut lists his ethnicity as 'golden retriever'.

He lives in a weird bubble where all the women only care about fancy dogs. A sleazy grifter who doesn't care about anyone really but extra doesn't care about dogs learns about the prize money, his unique legal situation. They fall in love, and the grifter discovers they're a furry.

I've seen grodier PG-13 moments in Adam Sandler films. Just need to cut to people reacting to it.

Unfortunately, this movie can no longer be made since Robin Williams is dead... Jim Carrey maybe?

Jason is also trying to enter the dog show for possibly nefarious purposes but turns out to be completely normal. But the protagonist only sees it from weird angles until the end.

Kinky. We gotta think of a really on the nose name for it, like "Earth Dude" or something.

Hmm I think it’d make more sense if it was a dog agility competition. Gotta keep the athletics theme!
