This is one of a few flicks that Christopher Guest had a hand in
putting together, and I think the funniest.
Mr. Guest has a superb comedic pedigree, he did a lot of work
for National Lampoon in the early days, both the magazine and
the radio show, also did a few movies along the way.
He was in Spinal Tap, the cult metal head parody of the 1980’s.
Did a few mockumentary style flicks, was/is British royalty, and
the pinnacle of all that is wonderful, he married Jamie Lee Curtis.
Yep, he’s in the big leagues.
This whole movie is silly, Best in Show makes fun of the multitude
of professional dog shows that exist, especially the Westminster
event that takes the country by storm.
Even better, it parodies the people who follow such things.
This scene has the late, great Fred Willard as a commentator who
has nary a clue, about anything…
