Who says dogs aren't funny, and you know
why. It's the people showing off their dogs that really makes
it happen.
Sit back and watch the owners and handlers
viewing themselves through their K-9's while they put them through
their paces, which is just and extension of their personalities.
You really start caring for the great cast
of characters, and they become real people right away.
The story makes it more than comedy sit-coms
or a series of sketches. If you like laughing, I guarantee it's
dog-gone good. |
Christopher Guest, the same man who brought
you This Is Spinal Tap and Waiting for Guffman,
puts on the dog as we get a glimpse behind the scenes at the
Mayflower Dog Show.
Shot with a minimalist script and a great
deal of improvisation, this film recounts the trials and tribulations
of making it on the canine circuit.
It's witty, insightful, and just plain
fun. If this movie doesn't make you laugh, then there's something
wrong with you. |
Tongues and tails wag in the ruff-cut,
arf-house cinema called Best in Show.
It's a take-all bow-wow comedy that pokes
fun at dog owners.
This is an amusing and affectionate look
at the world of top-flight dog shows. The pooches reflect their
owners (up to a point). While the dogs are pampered, pedigreed,
and in top form, their strange, odd-ball caretakers are a very
different breed of animal.
My vote goes to the dogs. |
