Watch Worst In Show For Free

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

And, as that old, familiar saying goes - "Ugly (like beauty) is in the eyes of the beholder." Considering what this documentary's subject was all about (a contest in search of the world's ugliest dog) - I certainly thought that this particular presentation could have been a whole lot better than it (unfortunately) turned out to be. I'm not kidding.Yes. There certainly were some very entertaining moments in "Worst In Show", but, as things moved along, I quickly found that I just couldn't warm up to some of the irksome personalities of a number of the dog-owners who were in my face here for a good part of the time.Generally speaking - "Worst In Show" was a fairly mediocre production, on all counts.If this presentation had been handled more professionally (and not focused on the bickering of certain dog-owners), then, yes, I think "Worst In Show" would have been a helluva lot more enjoyable to watch, in the long run.Anyway - See for yourself. You just might think differently than I do.

This documentary focuses on the annual "World's Ugliest Dog" contest held in Petaluma, California. Like a lot of offbeat competitions, it started out as a quirky bit of fun for owners of strange-looking, so-ugly-they're-cute canines. But the subject matter, while funny on the surface, ultimately turns disturbing.For one thing, as in many contests, there are always a few competitors who take the whole thing way too seriously. In this case, one dog owner in particular comes across as an obnoxious self-promoter who attempts to monopolize all the attention at every contest. His aggressive campaigning tactics start off as funny, then become tiresome. He eventually comes off as one of those pushy stage parents in children's beauty pageants.More disturbing, though, is the exploitation of some of these dogs. Granted, some breeds of dogs, such as Chinese Cresteds, are simply more bizarre-looking than the average pooch. But many of the entrants have disabilities that contribute to their "ugliness"--missing eyes, blindness, visible tumors and warts, goiters, missing teeth, spinal and limb deformities, etc. It raises the question of whether some of these dogs are the victims of medical neglect by greedy owners who are more interested in allowing their dogs to remain "ugly" rather than seek medical attention for their illnesses and deformities.What starts out as a lighthearted look at strange, funny-looking creatures turns sour. Maybe a closer look at some of these overzealous dog owners is warranted.

Apparently, the world's largest ugly dog contest is held every year at the Sonoma-Marin Fair in Petaluma, CA.What's not to love about ugly dogs? Worst in Show amazes us with nature's diversity. Who knew there were so many ways to be ugly? Ugly is manifested via genetics, injury, and illness. What starts out as a happy freak show evolves into philosophical ruminations on morality. Kind of reminds me of an old Twilight Zone theme. The dogs don't know they're ugly, they're just basking in the attention. We meet a lot of quirky pet guardians. Some appear to be beyond emotionally involved in this supposedly light-hearted contest. Rivalries are revealed, hearts are broken, and lives are literally transformed.A quick google reveals an obsessive amount of international press at this annual anti-beauty contest. There's a lot of intellectualism packed into this 90 minutes, but admit it, don't you want to see what their owner's look like?

I just watched this last week & thoroughly enjoyed it. It's quite fascinating. It's about the Ugliest Dog Contest that takes place in Petaluma, CA every summer. I've lived in the same county for almost 16 years & this is the first I've heard of the contest. I may just go this year for the heck of it because of this film, even though I'm not a dog or pet owner(although I've owned a few in the distant past).The filmmakers interview the various contestants of the contest and you get to know them and their dogs. They follow a few of the owners who are REALLY into it and you find out somewhat of what makes them so obsessed with the contest and winning. Of course, there's some competitiveness between owners. And the dogs are great to watch and although ugly, have their own charm.Surprised this has rated so low so far with a 2.7. It may have to do with the quality of the film it was shot on which isn't the best. Also, I think the filmmakers could've gone further into finding out what makes the owners so into the competitive side of the contest. I think it deserves far better though. And I like the fact that the title of this film plays off the title of the fantastic film 'Best In Show' which is about a fictional dog show(I'd highly recommend it, if you've not seen it. It's hilarious & has a great cast). This doc is the real deal though!
