The brilliance of "Best in Show" is that these are frighteningly realistic characters that you can imagine actually meeting and genuinely being obsessed with such a, what I perceive as, ridiculous hobby. They aren't over the top to the point of disbelief, but they are crazy enough to incite a mixture of fear, pity, and awkwardness. The deficiency of "Best in Show" has to be the length. The mockumentary style just doesn't seem conducive to a full length feature film. This often leads to somewhat boring and dragging segments of the movie. But between these boring, dragging segments you have a continuous smile from the ridiculousness of these people and some good laugh-out-loud moments. I understand that this is not a movie for everyone and not one I would watch over and over again, maybe not even ever again, but it still has the memorable factor working for it. Not to mention I'm madly in love with Parker Posey.
