Best in Show
USA, 2000. 90 min.
If you thought that Waiting for Guffman was the funniest thing you have ever seen, wait until you experience the wonderfully hilarious world of the Mayflower Dog Show in BEST IN SHOW. Filmmaker Christopher Guest (with the help of co-writer Eugene Levy) magnificently takes you into a world where the tension is palpable, the excitement is mounting and the heady scent of competition is in the air as hundreds of eager contestants from across America prepare to take part in what is undoubtedly one of the greatest events of their lives -- the Mayflower Dog Show. The canine contestants and their owners are as wondrously diverse as the great country that has bred them. This priceless comedy, largely improvised, boasts and incredible cast of characters that includes Harry Pepper (Guest) and his bloodhound, the simple Gerry & Cookie Fleck (Levy & Catherine O'Hara) and their terriers, nut-case yuppies Hamilton & Meg Swan (Michael Hitchcock & Parker Posey), the gay dog groomers from Tribeca Scott Dolan & Stefan Vanderhoof (John Michael Higgins & Michael McKean), and the air headed millionaire Sheri Ann Ward Cabot (Jennifer Coolidge) and her trainer Christy Cummings (Jane Lynch) all out for the coveted Blue Ribbon by any means necessary. Don't miss the incomparable Fred Willard as the clueless show announcer. It doesn't get much better.
