What was Christopher Guest thinking! Talk about ruin your legacy. This is almost as bad as the 2nd Blues Brothers movie and that is really saying something!
I am not exaggerating when I say I didn't laugh once, not even a snicker.
I am sure they filmed this the same way as the other movies where the actors have license to stray from the script but really, this was the best they could come up with in the editing room from what I am sure would have been dozens of hours of footage?
Where are the funny lines? the creativity we saw in those excellent movies like Best in Show and Waiting for Guffman. Perhaps after 22yrs Guest just isn't up to it but it's not just the writing. Funny people like Michael Hitchcock, Parker Posey, Ed Begley Jr, Jane Lynch, Don Lake, Fred Willard not a funny line between them!
So disappointing. Other reviewers are correct when they say it is almost Best In Show 2 with a similar style and story line but at least Best In Show had some belly aching moments.
Perhaps there weren't many topics left after covering amateur theater, folk music, the Hollywood scene, dog shows and heavy metal bands. Mascots and that whole industry is probably apt but there is just nothing funny about this movie at all.
Retire Mr. Guest. Go and sit on a beach somewhere and enjoy life. Please don't do any more damage to your awesome list of truly funny films.
