Movie Of The Week: Best In Show (2000)

Christopher Guest directs Eugene Levy, Catherine O’Hara and Parker Posey in this mockumentary comedy following various competing dog owners at the American equivalent of Crufts.

The absolute Daddy of its form. Every scene hilarious and every character a gem. Plus many cute dogs looking absolutely baffled by the experience. Many films try for this improvised, lightning in a bottle, no script needed method of comedy. Often they become interminable or, at best, cult items that grow on you with repeated communal viewings. But Best In Show genuinely pulls it off even if you watch it uninitiated. That is truly impressive.
