Best in Show

Pros: funny
Cons: sexual undertones may be unsuitable for younger viewers

I am a dog owner and wanted to see a funny movie. Even if you don't like dogs, you will love this film. It is a first rate 'documentary' about dog owners and dog shows. The humor is good for almost everyone, although there may be a lot of explaining...

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: intelligent humor, hilariously satirical
Cons: requires a slight relatibility to the subject matter

Sometimes, the most entertaining things come not from our minds or imagination, but from simple observance and recantation of what we see around us every day. Slice of life movies, those that hold the magnifying glass up to a certain aspect of society...

Pros: Somewhat funny, a few brilliant characters
Cons: Somewhat unfunny, bland, extremely repetitive

Harlan Pepper (Christopher Guest) is preparing his bloodhound to sniff out the faults in his fellow canine competitors. Gerry and Cookie Fleck (Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara) are getting their terrier ready for battle. Sheri Ann Ward Cabot (Jennifer...

Pros: FUNNIEST MOVIE OF THE YEAR!
Cons: NO CAR CHASES, EXPLOSIONS, MARTIAL ARTS, KICKS IN THE GROIN....

"It is the best of drugs. It is the worst of drugs." If Chuck Dickens had ever written a novel about cocaine, instead of wasting his time on silly stuff like the French Revolution, it might very well have begun in this way.

I never...

Pros: a pleasant little film
Cons: not really worth the full ticket price

I went to see "Best In Show" because I am an animal lover and I heard
a lot of good things about this movie. I found "Best In Show" to be a
pretty nice little flick with a few chuckles in it but there was nothing
...

Pros: Highly Recommended movie. Laughed the whole time
Cons: none

Best in show is just that. One of the best shows of the year by far. I am not saying that this movie is going to win best picture come Oscar day, but I do think that it is a definite must see.

Here is a little snapshot of what to...

Pros: funny, witty, enjoyable
Cons: had some slow points

Ok I have to admit, when I first saw a preview of this movie, I had absolutely no desire to see it. It looked very stupid, but then I heard some critics give it rave reviews, and while I don't usually listen to what the critics have to say, I thought...

Pros: wacky
Cons: too wacky

Are you one of those people that finds yourself watching too much cable TV and even find the dog show entertaining? If so then this is the movie for you - it gives the back story behind all those goofy dog owners and what is up with the announcers. We...

Pros: Christopher Guest is a genius!
Cons: Not many people appreciate the mockumentary format.

An auspicious beginning to the Fall Movie Season! Christopher Guest does it again with Best In Show. "Waiting for Guffman" was a brilliant take of the people involved in community theater, and "Best In Show" is a brilliant,...

Pros: funny, cool dogs, gay humor
Cons: not that funny, slow, stereotypes

I would describe this movie as adequately funny. It's a great idea (thank god it got made before we had to live through a movie of the SNL "Dog Show" skit), and some of the characters are hysterical and at least to me, somewhat familiar. The...

Pros: Fred Willard, Jane Lynch, Larry Miller
Cons: Sense of humor too gentle for subject matter

Best In Show is a comedy about champion show dogs, and the humans who dote on them. Told in a documentary style, it tells the tale of one year in the lives of the owners of five dogs, and the owners' efforts to make their pets champions. For each...

Pros: Funny movie about dogs and their owners
Cons: Subtle humor, annoying in parts

If you go to see Best in Show for its in your face humor, forget it. This "mockumentary" about several couples and others participating in a dog show is funny. It's not often laugh out loud funny, though. It's more something that will make you...

Pros: Parker Posey is at her shrill, shrieking best; All the doggies are cool; The improv is hysterical
Cons: Several of the gags fall flat; Fred Willard is annoying.

You know the type; the people that talk nonsense to their dogs and treat them like small retarded children. The people that always refer to their animal as 'Mr. something' or something ending in 'IE'. (Mookie, Loopie, Crotchie) Those people who are so...

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...
