| Plot |
| After parodying the idiosyncrasies of community theater devotees in the mock documentary Waiting for Guffman , actor/director Christopher Guest returns with another semi-improvised comedy that casts a satirical gaze on the world of championship dog breeding and training. A television crew is on hand to document the prestigious Mayflower Kennel Club Dog Show, and competition is fierce among the canine devotees vying for top honors. Salesman Gerry Fleck ( Eugene Levy ), who is cursed with two left feet (literally), and his wife Cookie ( Catherine O'Hara ) have entered their Norwich terrier "Winky" in competition. Wealthy and neurotic Meg Swan ( Parker Posey ) and her husband Hamilton ( Michael Hitchcock ) are on hand with their Weimaraner "Beatrice," who they fear may have been traumatized by watching them have sex. Scott Donlan ( John Michael Higgins ) and his life partner Stefan Vanderhoof ( Michael McKean ) have brought their beloved Shih Tzu, "Miss Agnes." Trophy wife Sheri Ann Cabot ( Jennifer Coolidge ) and her close friend and trainer Christy Cummings ( Jane Lynch ) are hoping for a repeat victory for Sheri's poodle, "Rhapsody In White." And Harlan Pepper ( Guest ), who operates a store specializing in fly-fishing gear, has decided to stack his bloodhound "Hubert" up against the competition. In addition to Guest , Levy , O'Hara , and Posey , several other veterans of the Waiting for Guffman cast also appear in Best in Show , including Fred Willard , Bob Balaban , and Lewis Arquette . — Mark Deming |
