Best of Show
Their are events in each of our lives that are pivital in determining our futures...even for Dog lovers and their dogs. Done in a "mockumentry" style, this movie fallows the events of the dogs and there owners before and after one of the most prestigious Dog shows in the world, and gives you an insight into the blood sweat and tears that go into being worthy of the a blue ribbon and a title that any dog anywhere can appreciate, "Best of Show". If you love sutle humor, this movie is right up your ally. Sometimes theres nothing funnier than the habits, intrests, and obssesions of people who might just be your neighbors. I give this movie an 8. It's not quite as funny as something like the Royal Tenenbaums, but its definately worth watching if your in the mood for comedy. If you liked this film, check out A Mighty Wind, another "mockumentry" By Writer and Director, Christopher Guest.

This one has been on my list, even after seeing Waiting For Guffman. I am still torn on Waiting For Guffman since it was the same kind of subtle humor. Sometimes it seemed downright stupid. But I had a different stance when I put it in the light that I am sure there are really people out there with big hearts and big dreams but don't realize how big the world is in comparison. We've all had to come back down to earth, and if you haven't, you will. In some really odd way, its like the perspective of the side of the small town where the sun shines, instead of the part of town where sun doesn't shine (Gummo).
Of course required watching for any Christopher Guest fan would include This Is Spinal Tap...as long as you can keep up with that 1980's pace.
