this be the only christopher guest movie that rival spinal tap and princess bride for sheer entertainment value and but somehow never get near the recognition . the plot surround the contestant dog and their owner a they venture into the world of competitive dog . ok and it about a dog show . the owner truly be character and a one would have to be to be so attach to their dog . that really all there be to it and but that make it funny enough . you would never be able to convince me that a mock u mentary about dog show would be funny prior to catch the hilarious scene where levy and ohara visit larry miller house on tv . but that really all it take to convert any doubter . spinal tap be non stop hilarity and joke after joke whereas best in show be have a few more lull ( and by that i mean say 3 minute at most where something riotously funny doesn not happen ) and but the big laugh be even big . the casting in this one be great and even the typically out of place in and uh movie in general parker posey do a fine job . in fact and her tirade direct at ed begley jr. and a pet store owner over a lost dog toy be probably the funny run gag of the film . what amaze about this movie to me be how the writer somehow manage to weave a plot and simple a it be and around these great joke so that it actually felt like it have direction . i guess there a freedom in have such a minimal plot . everyone role be pretty well craft here and the character be rarely over the top . the realism of how pathetic they seem to the outsider be what make it funny than mighty wind or the uneven guffman . i actually encounter wierdos like this now and then . if you like guest stuff at all and you should definitely own this one .
