Best in Show

Pros: Very funny, steady pace, keeps you guessing
Cons: Young kids might have questions

With comedic greats like Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara, how could "Best In Show" go wrong? It didn't! Personally, I don't laugh out loud very often at movies, but I did at this one.

This wonderful spoof is a hilarious marriage of...

Pros: Humor, Dogs, and a show, who could ask for more?
Cons: too short

Why do I love my dog? Probably for the same reason these people love their dogs too much. Anyone who has a beloved four-legged friend should definitely see this film. I call it a film because is neither a movie nor a documentary for real.

The...

Pros: Extremely funny!
Cons: I couldn't beleive it was over when it ended, too bad.

This is by far one of the funniest movies out there. I loved it. The characters were so rich, and the acting was superb. Most of the movie acting was improve and the reality of the characters made me feel like this was a real documentary. Good stuff....

Pros: The funniest movie of the year
Cons: Christopher Guest doesn't make movies often enough

I can’t remember the last time I’ve broke into tears after fully loosing my composure in theaters, not since Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie (1996) have I laughed so consistently. The film forces a giant smile one your face and doesn’t let up...

Pros: Writing. Performances.
Cons: None

Norman has had another bout with the bottle and, to top things off, tripped over one of my false eyelashes that I had carelessly left on the bathroom floor and cracked several ribs against the side of the bidet. He has been a good deal of pain the last...

Pros: Awesome Performances. Continuous Laughter. Creative Genius.
Cons: None!

I love this movie.

Christopher Guest, director and co-writer with Eugene Levy, once again outdoes himself. If you are not familiar with his movies (i.e. Waiting for Guffman, This is Spinal Tap...) this is a great one to start. Guest is a...

Pros: movie keeps your interest going
Cons: none that i can think of

this mockumentry about a dog show and what goes on there is one of the funniest movies i have seen in a while.
this movie will keep you laughing from begining to end with its quick wit and dry humor.
in fact i think its so good i have seen it...

Pros: hilarious, non- predictable, short
Cons: no depth, but who cares?

I wasn't sure if I wanted to see this movie at first as I have always thought dog shows are ridiculous, pretentious, and exploit animals, but I really enjoyed this movie.

There are laughs from the beginning to the end as we follow a wide...

Pros: Great cast, funny script, believable characters
Cons: Some running jokes are taken too far

Best in Show is a mock documentary about participants in the Mayflower dog show in Philadelphia. The documentary crew follows the contestants on their journeys, allowing us the pleasure of observing a funny, diverse and at times absurd cast of...

Pros: very good cast, plot, setting
Cons: hard to find any

BEST IN SHOW takes its title from the final and ultimate prize at a kennel club annual competition. First there is the prize for Best in Breed - which toy poodle is prettier than all the other toy poodles, then there's Best in Group - is this...

Pros: Nothing else like it in theaters
Cons: Veers a bit unsteadily between documentary and standard cinema

Christopher Guest likes to make movies. And he's happiest when he's aping the documentary style and fusing it with a Marx Brothers sensibility!

Best In Show is his long-awaited follow up to Waiting for Guffman. Having honed his...

Pros: Lots of funny lines
Cons: If you don't like satire, this one isn't for you.

As soon as I got home from Best in Show, I had a long talk with my dogs about their ambitions in life . . . and mine! They have decided they do not want to act and therefore will never make me rich. Oh well.

If you've ever had such thoughts...

Pros: funny story and characters
Cons: what cons? I can't think of any.

This would be the best comedy film of the year. The humor and energy in this mockumentary from director/co-star Christopher Guest is more amazing when the viewer realizes it was done by its amazing cast. Guest and Eugene Levy came up with the plot for...

Pros: Acting is superb, story is realistic but offbeat
Cons: Dry humor may not be for everyone

On September 29th, Best of Show, the hilarious new comedy about dogs from Castle Rock Entertainment, was released in roughly 14 theatres across the country. Unfortunately, my small, Midwestern town was not one of them. The next week, it was...

Pros: VERY funny improv performances
Cons: 'Mockumentary' format is not for everyone

This movie doesn't quite go to 'eleven', but those enjoyed the 'mockumentary' format that 'This is Spinal Tap' pioneered will be ready for 'Best in Show'. Those who didn't 'get' 'Spinal Tap' would probably be better off two screens over watching that new...
