Best in Show Reviews
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.

Hilarious and offbeat, but humor is pretty grownup.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 14, 2010
...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.

What a pity that with such funny material, Guest and company found it necessary to rely so heavily on sex as a supplementary source of comedy.

The jokes in Best in Show are somewhat one-dimensional, but they hit their target.

Fans of offbeat humor will get a big kick out of this follow-up to Waiting for Guffman, but there will be more appreciative, 'Oh, that's funny!' comments than outright laughs.

Improv comedy rarely makes it onto the big screen. And when it does so as hilariously as it does in Best in Show ... that is certainly cause for celebration.

The actors' ad-libbed responses, along with their amateurish reactions to the ever-present camera, are more forlorn than comedic.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 1, 2000
Whatever the reason, [Guest's] films have always developed cult followings once they hit video. Hopefully, Best in Show will buck that trend and be successful in theaters, too.

[Fred Willard's] a one-man storm of escalating inanity, and he's hilarious.

The dogs may be cute, but it's the people who steal the show.

Alas, Best in Show probably won't find the big audience in theaters it deserves, but it will have a long life in living rooms thereafter.

The movie is light as a lap dog, and often just as lovable.
