Higgins is one explicit movie-winner choice; another response cannot settle among Higgins, Posey, O’Hara and Willard.
Willard is the other settled winner choice, favored over Higgins because his performance is the film’s most widely recognized; Higgins is characterized as the deeper repeat-viewing choice.
O’Hara receives no settled alternate peak, with Home Alone, Beetlejuice, Schitt’s Creek and After Hours discussed instead of this film.
McKean’s Apex is placed at Better Call Saul.
Coolidge’s Apex is The White Lotus, while Legally Blonde and Stifler’s Mom support the possibility of more than one peak; a confused Stacy’s Mom song reference is explicitly corrected.
Willard’s Apex is ultimately no; dog shows are qualified against Westminster itself, while goat roasting, AM Philadelphia, terrier songs, American Bitch and pet-owner movies receive affirmative responses.
Lynch’s Apex is Glee.
Posey’s peak is tentatively placed in the mid-1990s, with Dazed and Confused and Guffman mentioned, although her lack of a clear major peak is lamented.
Levy’s Apex is Schitt’s Creek, including the added significance of working with his son.
Best in Show is at least a top-ten comedy ensemble; Anchorman and Bridesmaids are comparison candidates, and Anchorman becomes the tentative best ensemble rather than an enumerated top-ten list.
