Movie Reviews of Best in Show
Movie Review: Absolutely hilarious
Summary: 5 Stars
Apparently there are some people who have a negative impression of this film. Fine, but its not a slapstick comedy with goofy jokes. It is satirical and the humor is dry. All of the characters are stereotyped which makes this film so funny. Its not about the dogs, its about the characters who own them. I believe that if you do not think this film is funny then you either are comedically impaired, or lacking some IQ points.
Summary of Best in Show
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 GuestChristopher 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
