"This comic jigsaw puzzle isicrammed with deliriously funny bits." -Stephen Holden, The New York Times
Si-i-i-t. Sta-a-a-a-a-y. Laugh! Best In Show is "the year's funniest movie." (Lou Lumenick, New York Post). Waiting For Guffman's Christopher Guest directs and many of the film's stars (including Fred Willard as a loopy commentator) reunite for this zany look at dog show participants (and the pooches who love them). Join the fun as Mayflower Kennel Club competitors - a fly-fishing shop owner from Pine Nut, NC (Guest), Shih-Tzu-doting partners (Michael McKean and Jon Michael Higgins), squabbling yuppies (Parker Posey and Michael Hitchcock), a dim-bulb trophy wife (Jennifer Coolidge) and her ace handler (Jane Lynch) and a married couple (Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara) who dream up ditties about terriers - vie for the top prize. It's howlarious!

Christopher Guest, king of the mockumentary does it again - 4.25 out of 5 (12/19/2001)
Rarely does a director get to create his own genre or at least do so well in it that it becomes his own. Christopher Guest has done this with the 'Mockumentary', a satiric film done as if it was a real documentary. 'Best in Show' takes on the unusual world of dog shows. At one point I considered a job installing a local area network for the American Kennel Club in New York and I got somewhat familiar with this sub set of society. These people take their dogs seriously, very seriously. Not only i

Best on shelf - 4 out of 5 (5/7/2001)
Have you ever sat and watched a dog show on some obscure cable television
station and wondered what the heck was the point? I'm sure there is one and
I know it's a different game for people who breed their dogs but to me, it's
probably one of the most boring things on television.
I suppose that is why Christopher Guest and Eugene Levy wrote BEST IN SHOW.
This is the same team that butchered the world of the small town play in
WAITING FOR GUFFMAN, and the dog show gets no less of a skewe

Don't miss this little known gem. - 4.75 out of 5 (10/28/2001)
This is a great comedy that didn't receive much press or showing. It is improvisation at its best and is one of the best comedies I have ever seen. If you liked "The In-Laws" -The zany comedy with Peter Faulk and Alan Arkin this should fit your needs. Fred Willard is incredible. You will be stopping and reversing constantly because you will miss many of the lines because you will be laughing so hard. Parker Posey is incredible - she is one of the great unsung comedy stars. Christopher Guest and

If you liked Waiting For Guffman... you'll love this one. - 4.25 out of 5 (5/30/2001)
Very entertaining film. I loved the returning cast from "Waiting for Guffman". In my opinion, the funniest scene in the entire film ended up on the cutting room floor. But thanks to the folks that put this DVD together, you get to see it. I'm not going to give anything away, but the scene I'm referring to is a "deleted" scene which involves the gay couple at the party. It is NOT to be missed. There are some other very funny deleted scenes, but this one itself is worth the price of the DVD.
