one of the best comedies ever made.

A great Guest movie depends on his massive casts entertaining across the board, and Best in Show hits a sweet spot where a half-dozen members of his recurring troupe... project all their insecurities and obsessions onto their nonplussed animals.

...often feels much, much longer than its 90 minutes...

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jun 17, 2021

Parker Posey's high-strung yuppie sums up decades of American culture: "We are so lucky to have been raised amongst catalogs."

Willard plays a color commentator at a Philadelphia dog show, whose observations are off-color and belly-grabbing hilarious - the whole film's one big, shaggy guffaw.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | May 29, 2020

Guest seems to know just how far he can stretch reality without losing the crucial texture of verisimilitude. This is a comedy even cat lovers might adore.

The film-makers have hung their satire on a slender and oh so familiar conceit - that dog-show types project their ambitions and their vanities onto their mutts.

The first 45 minutes are amusing enough, but the movie ascends to another level with the second-half introduction of Fred Willard as commentator Buck Laughlin.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Feb 23, 2013

Hilarious and offbeat, but humor is pretty grownup.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 14, 2010

The real pedigree doesn't even arrive until halfway through. Fred Willard's unforgettable dim-bulb commentator takes aim at 온라인카지노추천's injection of "sports drama" into competitions where, quite simply, there is none. (Here's looking at you, Joe Garagiola.)

| Original Score: 4/4 | Sep 25, 2010

This fringe milieu is inhabited with all sorts of eccentric characters to wring laughs from.

Guest e sua trupe sempre conseguem divertir com seus mockumentaries, mas este longa, ainda que pontualmente brilhante, encontra-se entre os mais frgeis da filmografia atpica do cineasta.

...it's always a pleasure to watch this ensemble of gifted talents do what they do best -- be spontaneous and funny and surprising. What we get is a master-class demonstration of the distinction between comic actors and comedians who try to act.

The movie gets its laughs by letting its people talk and reveal themselves unconsciously.
