Tuffy P turned on the television last night to discover that the Christopher Guest 2000 “mocumentary” Best in Show was on. The film is set up as a documentary featuring five dogs and their owners competing in a dog show. That’s all you need to know going in. It’s been a while since I’ve seen a film that caused me to laugh out loud so much.
The cast is great in this film, and in particular Catherine O’Hara and Eugene Levy and Fred Willard were delightful. It was written by Christopher Guest and Eugene Levy, but I understand that much of the dialogue in Guest’s mocumentaries is improvised by the actors.
If you haven’t seen this one, it’s an excellent renter.

Oh yes, this is a beaut! I love Guest movies…the best!
This is one of my most favourite movies of the last decade! My family is a tad mystified by my loving of all things Christopher Guest. I tortured everyone in the house with a recent marathon of Waiting for Guffman, A Mighty Wind, and this…. >;D (My daughter referred to it as “Night of the living Guffman”)
