Encyclopedia > Best in Show (movie)

Best in Show (2000) is a mockumentary film following five entries in a prestigious dog show. The film shows how much dog owners love their pets ... and how carried away they can get. Christopher Guest and Eugene Levy wrote the script, and Guest directed. Many of the people involved also made This Is Spinal Tap (1984), Waiting for Guffman (1996), and/or A Mighty Wind (2003). The film won American, British, and Canadian Comedy Awards.



Dog Owners/Handlers:
Christopher Guest   Harlan Pepper
Parker Posey   Meg Swan
Michael Hitchcock   Hamilton Swan
Catherine O'Hara   Cookie Guggelman Fleck
Eugene Levy   Gerald 'Gerry' Fleck
Michael McKean   Stefan Vanderhoof

Eugene Levy: Best in Show - Movie (576 words)
This movie makes the classic mistake most writers make when they start out writing, by telling their audience the elements of their stories rather than showing them.
Although, there is superb acting, this movie does not work as a "documentary." It would have been much improved if it had the stories, that were told by the characters themselves, played out instead.
Dog shows are hilarious, and dog fanatics are some of the most bizarrely colorful people on the planet, but practically all of the film is devoted to mocking the millennia-old bond between humans and dogs while Christopher Guest totally overlooks the disturbing glee with which certain dog breeders play god.
