In an age when the world is becoming more and more like a Christopher Guest film, its a joy to get to see a movie about crazy people and know I can leave them in the theater. I say that because whether you watch the news or watch some recent documentaries you quickly realize that real life is imitating art.
BEST IN SHOW is a fun film. It is on the favorite film list of several friends and family. Its a film they will turn to again and again because it makes them feel good. There is something about watch the insanity around dog shows they find calming.
This is proabably the best of Christopher Guest's films. Yes it has Guest's insane world view but it is also his most grounded. The characters are the closest you will get to real people as you will find in any of his films.
As I said, its a lot of fun.
Due to screen at Tribeca in a few days the film is having a special Q&A with Guest and several other people from the film in attendance.
