Best in Show, like A Mighty Wind and Waiting for Guffman, is kind of the best type of "comfort movie" for me. Better than a British comedy, better than a romantic comedy - these tongue-in-cheek; laugh-at-society movies by Christopher Guest.
The premise of this movie is that we get to follow the lives of five different dogs and their owners as they attempt to enter and win the Mayflower Kennel Dog Show.
Of course as Mockumentaries go, this one ranks high. The character studies are hysterical. Everything from a gay couple to a former party-girl and her nerdly husband to a high-strung yuppy couple make this movie truly fantastic. Two paws up.
