Best in Show (8-Sep-2000)

Director: Christopher Guest

Writers: Christopher Guest; Eugene Levy

Producer: Karen Murphy

Keywords: Comedy, Dog, Mockumentary

Five show dogs and their teams are followed from their preparations to the 25th Annual Mayflower Kennel Club Dog Show in Philadelphia, the highest echelon of dog shows. Entirely consisting of improvised dialogue, all key players except Parker Posey are comedians and Second City alumni; Fred Willard excels as a clueless TV announcer and color man. Multiple viewings may be required to catch everything.
