"Best in Show" -- which is directed by Christopher Guest and co-written by Guest and Eugene Levy -- centers on a group of dog owners who travel to a prestigious dog show, and enter their canines to compete, with the film also giving an inside look into the competitive world of dog shows. The movie stars Jennifer Coolidge, Jane Lynch, Catherine O'Hara, Larry Miller, Parker Posey, Linda Kash, Levy and more.
In Grande and Gillies' hilarious videos, they recreated several scenes, transforming into three different characters, with the two donning wigs and prosthetics in addition to wearing costumes. As shown in the clips, Grande portrayed characters played by Coolidge, Levy and Kash in the film, while Gillies can be seen stepping into roles that were played by Lynch, O'Hara and Miller in the movie.
Meanwhile, many celebrities reacted to Grande and Gillies' post, including "Best in Show" stars Coolidge and Lynch.
"This is f---ng great. I was gonna go as the young boy's pet weasel from 'The Watcher' but now I think I'm gonna go as @arianagrande's dog Toulouse 😉," commented Coolidge, who also shared the message on her Instagram Stories, which Grande reposted.
