Best in Show

Pros: None that I can think of.
Cons: Can not follow story line, and monotone most of the time. NOT VERY GOOD!!!

When we rented Best in show, we were expecting to laugh... we did but not because the show was funny, more because it was so stupid. I have never seen a more stupid movie. The story line varied between like 10 different people, all of whom are in the...

Pros: If you liked Spinal Tap or Waiting for Guffman WATCH THIS MOVIE!!!
Cons: If you are actually very serious about dog shows....stay away.

I open by saying this movie is not for everyone. People who are into dog shows will most definitely hate it (this is what I have noticed anyway). However, if you are a fan of Christopher Guest's movies, such as "Spinal Tap" and "Waiting for Guffman,"...

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: Funny, well acted, cute dogs
Cons: ending a little weak

I recently went and saw "Best in Show" on a date, and although a comedy about dog shows might not sound like prime date material, i have to say that i couldn't have enjoyed myself more! The team that brought us "Waiting for Guffman"...

Pros: Fast paced, never a dull moment
Cons: Announcer was a little over the top

The format of this movie was very different from what I expected and from most movies I have seen. Instead of a flowing story line that followed people as they interacted with each other, none of the characters ever really interacted with each other at...

Pros: original concept, extremely funny, great acting
Cons: no cons!

Best in Show is a hilarious fake documentary about the world of dog shows and the dog owners. The film follows the daily lives of the dog owners as they are preparing to go to the dog show. My favorite is the neurotic yuppie couple and their...

Pros: Some comedy is really funny
Cons: Some comedy isn't funny at all

People that are obsessed with their dogs. Do I need say more. The subject in itself is hilarious and dog-shows are funny things just themselves. A whole audience of people on the edge of their seat, waiting to see whole will be the best dog. That is...

Pros: Funny and Fred Willard steals the movie
Cons: Some of the characters are too over the top

You couldn't pay me to attend a real dog show but I sure got my money's worth watching this funny spoof of dog shows.

I liked Christopher Guest's Waiting for Guffman so I decided to give this movie a try. Although not as satisfying as...

Pros: The dogs were cute is the best that I could say.
Cons: Incredibly offensive and not at all funny.

"Best in Show" has got to be one of the all time worst movies that I have ever rented. People had told me that it was hilarious, and I can't for the life of me figure out why!

It was a very odd style of a movie, in that it appeared to be as...

Pros: Some funny moments and characters, clever premise
Cons: Should have been developed more completely

This review is one of those guilty things you do -- sort of like an apology. I didn't like this movie, but I feel bad about it.

Aren't I sophisticated enough to laugh at the gay men and women. To laugh at "B*tch" magazine and crude penis...

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: 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: 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: Funny characters, and a pretty biting satire
Cons: No real plot, unrealistic characters (I hope).

Best in Show is a satire of dog shows and the people who participate in them. Even though it is completely fictional, much of it is presented as if it was a documentary. However, some parts go much deeper than a real documentary would go, making the...

Pros: It had a short theater run.
Cons: It was released on DVD and video.

If you haven't seen it, be very glad. I saw the DVD last night and I am thankful that I didn't waste a theater trip on this canine woofer.

The humor in this movie is a direct descendant of 1970's Mad magazines except that Mad had better writers. Talk about out of touch. These guys spend all their energy pounding feeble stereotype character jokes from 30 years ago combined with camera aware technique that makes you want to suspend the painful disbelief that you are actually watching this junk (are the writers getting on a bit, they hate everyone including the audience?)

Apparently there was little direction and the actors ad libbed a lot. Boy does it show. Eugene Levy is particularly abysmal amongst a bestial herd of lame or confused actors. His predictable loser character is as flat as a pancake. Considering he co-wrote this thing, he has no excuse for his pathetic delivery, it just looks like he is constantly improvising.

A far better satirical movie would have been one that documented these clowns actually making this movie.
