“Best in Show” was a very funny movie. it is one of those movies that people might not enjoy as much if the viewer was not in the mood for a laugh. but for those who are ready to laugh, this movie would hit the spot. I thought the funniest thing about the movie was how extreme these people love their dogs. i know if i had a dog i would love it but not to a point where one couple is yelling at another to please the dog like if it was going to save the world. The movie was unique because this is a movie that revolving around a dog show but in truth, is showing how the characters would act if they were in a situation as parents. starting with Meg and  Hamilton Swan; they are a very weird couple that seemed to cherish their dog like it is their baby. in a way, this couple is portraying themselves character if they were to replace a child with the dog. the couple are people that would pamper their child and give their child everything and anything to please and make the child happy. Cookie and Gerry Fleck are people that are together only because of the dog ( relating to real life, a child). it seems as if they are completely different people and that the only reason they are together is because one is taking advantage of the other. Cookie seems to be using Gerry to have a stable future because she understands that she can not be running around forever. and Gerry is the nerd all throughout his life and it is a dream for him to be with someone popular. Cookie cheats on Gerry and Gerry would get jealous each time but it seems as if without the dog, there would not be a relationship.Harlan Pepper is a person that is used to being alone. the only people he has are his friends and fishing buddies. his hobbies seem to be to love the dog, fish and play with his dummies. people say the dogs are men’s best friends because that is all he has. as for fishing and playing with his dummy, it is his way of passing by time. fishing is something people enjoy if they had a lot of patience and Harlan pepper seems to be someone that would not might being alone just sitting there waiting for a bite. and the dummy is also a tool to keep someone from feeling lonely and keep the user busy. Stefan vanderhoof and scott donlan are the gay couples that care so much about each other (and a child).The lesbian couples would be like an average family with the wife looking glamorous while the husband does the work and heavy lifting ( and their child would just be there doing his thing).
