Editorial Review: Product Description: A blue ribbon look at dog show participants and the pooches who love them. Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 02/03/2004 Starring: Christopher Guest Catherine Ohara Run time: 90 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: Christopher Guest Amazon.com: Christopher Guest, the man behind Waiting for Guffman, turns his comic eye on another little world that takes itself a bit too seriously: the world of competitive dog shows. Best in Show follows a clutch of dog owners as they prepare and preen their dogs to win a national competition. They include the yuppie pair (Parker Posey and Michael Hitchcock) who fear they've traumatized their Weimaraner by having sex in front of him; a suburban husband and wife (Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara) with a terrier and a long history of previous lovers on the wife's part; the Southern owner of a bloodhound (Guest himself) with aspirations as a ventriloquist; and many more. Following the same "mockumentary" format of Spinal Tap and Guffman, Best in Show takes in some of the dog show officials, the manager of a nearby hotel that allows dogs to stay there, and the commentators of the competition (a particularly knockout comic turn by Fred Willard as an oafish announcer). The movie manages to paint an affectionate portrait of its quirky characters without ever losing sight of the ridiculousness of their obsessive world. Almost all of the scenes were created through improvisation. While lacking the overall focus of a written script, Best in Show captures hilarious and absurd aspects of human behavior that could never be written down. The movie's success is a testament to both the talent of the actors and Guest's discerning eye. --Bret Fetzer Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Best In ShowThis is the best movie ever. I have watched it over and over and over again and never get sick of it. It is so hilarious that you have to buy it because you will want to see it again and again. Rating: - excellentExcellent, if you have dogs, then this is the movie for you. It's hilarious and funny. Some of the couples you can relate to in every day life. We sure did! Gotta get it! Rating:  - "Best In Show" Maybe not Quite the Best In ShowWhile I find nothing wrong with Christopher Guest's mocumentary films, and most times even find them incredibly funny, "Best in Show" missed its mark. Guest continously puts his characters in awkwardly funny situations that should make the audience chuckle and laugh, but I just don't see it. The film took itself seriously, which is what most audiences loved, but I just couldn't get into it. The characters are well-rounded and developed, the cinematography is great, but the plot just doesn't go anywhere. ...

Christopher Guest, who has made comedic improv "mockumentaries" an art form, hits the ... Read More Rating: - Funny!Dog lovers will enjoy this movie, with it's adult situations and humor. The dog show commentary is especially funny. Browse for similar items by category:
