Pecking Order documentary review: ruffled feathers and fowl play

Best in Show
memo to Christopher Guest: Please take on Sarah Palin. Please

Best in Show and Waiting for Guffman (review)
Put Christopher Guest right on top of the list of They Who Can Do No Wrong. As if the recent DVD release and reappearance in theaters of This Is Spinal Tap weren’t enough for fans of his diverse talent and deadpan humor, he now bestows upon us Best in Show, another of the hilarious and poignant mockumentaries that, in the vein of his 1996 film Waiting for Guffman, poke gentle fun not only at their fictional subjects but at their real-life counterparts and movie audiences as well.
