For its special $2 Tuesday Movie on Tuesday, Feb. 28, the 2000 film “Best in Show” will be shown on the Wildey’s big screen. This “mockumentary,” or a fictional documentary along the lines of films like “This Is Spinal Tap,” “What We Do in the Shadows,” features a hilarious cast of characters including Eugene Levy, Catherine O’Hara, Parker Posey and John Michael Higgins. The film showcases the odds and ends of these pet-owners as they compete at a national dog show.
