Belatedly saw the VCR of "Best in Show" this weekend.
I don't know what I expected, but I was surprised at how unsubtle this one was. It reminded me of that old "Fernwood" (?) flick from several years back -- or maybe "Mary Hartman...."
Not exactly what I'd expected. It was hit-over-the-head, pie-in-face humor for the most part, with a variety of digs at several differing types of people who are dog fanciers.
I would imagine someone really dedicated to dogs and dog shows would absolutely despise this movie (although I hope not--I like to think they'd see themselves in it and still laugh).
I kept wishing for just a tad of subtlety somewhere in the script, but it never came. Still, it was good fun, and I laughed out loud several times. Obvious humor is ok if it's genuinely funny.
