Best in Show

In "Best in Show," director Christopher Guest skewers the pomp and pretension of competitive dog shows with his signature blend of improvisation and mockumentary style. Set against the Mayflower Kennel Club's national competition, the film captures the absurdities and eccentricities of its human and canine participants, each more outlandish than the last. From the neurotic Dalmatian breeder to the clueless cat lady, Guest's ensemble delivers a series of hilarious vignettes that skewer the very essence of American obsession and vanity.
