"And they set off on this adventure to Vegas...and they enter the dog show in order to capture these animal traffickers. And so it's kind of like a...some people described it as a kind of a miscongeniality for dogs and I think there's probably a bit of something to that but I think it's kind of a fun way to have an action film, said Will Arnett regarding the plot of the family friendly film. The actor is known for his comedic works in hit films and TV programs such as Arrested Development, Monsters vs. Aliens, The Lego Movie, and Lego Batman. Arnett is a dog lover in real life that's why his work with Que (the Rottweiler who played Max) was something that he enjoyed immensely.
Max is voiced by actor and Grammy Award-winning rap artist Ludacris. According to producer Deepak Nayar, “We needed somebody who has New York tough accent, so Ludacris is the one we wanted to play the tough dog.”
To condition the dogs to perform, a typical day on set consists of activities such as “a game of ball and a nice walk”. Alexander continues, “The script is really full of dog action…especially for the Rottweiler. We’ve had several attacking scenes…we have him biting an arm, a leg, and that’s been challenging, but a lot of fun.”
Show Dogs features the voices of Shaquille O’Neal as Karma, Stanley Tucci (Devil Wears Prada) as Philippe, Alan Cumming as Dante, Gabriel Iglesias as Sprinkles, and American Idol winner Jordin Sparks as Daisy, the love interest of Max. It also stars Natasha Lyonne (American Pie) as Mattie, a dog groomer tasked with assisting Frank and Max to blend into a show dog world.
Viva International and MVP Entertainment brought the film to the Philippines. As of writing, the film is still shwoing in Robinsons Galleria Cinema 2.
