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: 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: Great humor
Cons: Not a huge storyline
This movie isn't your typical plot/story line movie. It's more of a narration of several characters, and follows many of them all the way through. There are no HUGE names here, but great performances by all. If you like "black comedy," you...

Pros: Hilarious characters, careful attention to detail
Cons: Guest takes too long between productions
I have loved Christopher Guest's work since I was fourteen and watched him as a regular on Saturday Night Live. Taped segments like the male synchronized swimmers sketch rejuvenated the show, which had been spotty since the golden early days of...

Pros: humorous, entertaining
Cons: a little cliche at times
This movie will keep you entertained form beginning to end.
It's a light-hearted comedy that was written, produced and directed by Christopher Guest, who also produced Waiting for Guffman.
The main theme is a pseudo-documentary on people who...

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: .
Cons: .
The quieter strokes furnish the noisiest laughs in "Best in Show," the new Christopher Guest mockumentary that gives the fru-fru subculture of dog shows the satirical razzing small-town community theater endured in Guest's uproarious...

Pros: Great characters
Cons: Too short at 90 minutes!
Forget "Who Let the Dogs Out?" Instead, think of "Who Let the Zany Owners who Own the Dogs Out?" Then, you'll be in the right mindset for "Best of Show." There are seldom movies that cause me to laugh out loud, even in...

Pros: Fantastic character acting, Hilariously funny in a quirky way
Cons: It's not Waiting for Guffman
Being an enormous fan of Christopher's Guest's masterpiece Waiting For Guffman, I was psyched to discover Guest's creative talents being used once again for Best In Show. Much like Guffman (which pokes fun at the characters involved in...

by Montepenny - Top 500, Oct 18 '00
Pros: Funny and Interesting...
Cons: Main Characters are Depressing.
Christopher Guest (writer/actor/director of Waiting for Guffman) is back in theaters with another fictional documentary...and this time he's gone to the dogs, figuratively speaking, of course.
Best in Show focuses...

Pros: Very Funny, very well acted...great casting
Cons: A bit stereotypical....but in a funny way?
I went to see Best in Show this past weekend because there really wasn't much else that I was excited to see. I had heard from people who had seen the preview that it was a funny movie and I took their word on it and went to see the movie. Boy...I was...

by Lawcomic , Oct 17 '00
Pros: Hilarious. Great Characters.
Cons: It's only 90 minutes.
The dog show set clearly deserves mockery. Triumph the Insult Comic Dog proved that to us on Conan O'Brien's show. Now Christopher Guest, the reigning king of the mockumentary form, manages to give insight into the world of dog shows and deliver a...

by Andrew_Hicks - Top 500, Oct 17 '00
Pros: Terrific comic performances, some big laughs
Cons: Lack of structure shows, 90-minute running time still seems a bit padded
In the beginning, there was This is Spinal Tap. With Rob Reiner polish, mind-numbing documentary interviews and a deftly comic principal cast – Christopher Guest, Harry Shearer and Michael McKean – immersed in chiseled caricature roles. Then, in...

by poseidon - Top 200, Oct 16 '00
Pros: funniest movie I've possibly ever seen, including "Monty Python and the Holy Grail"
Cons: it ended
This past weekend I had a chance to visit the movies again and I got to see a winner this time! I’ve had some lousy luck recently, and it was a pleasant surprise to see such an entertaining and relatively clean film.
So, what did I see? A...

by GePop , Oct 15 '00
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...
