Hollywood send-up. No-name actors are making a low-budget period drama called "Home for Purim," when an anonymous post on the Internet suggests that one performance is Oscar-worthy. Then, two more cast members get Oscar-related press: buzz in "Variety" and appearances on TV prompt the studio executives to insist on changes in the script in anticipation of a blockbuster. Jump ahead a few months to the days before Oscar nominees are announced: just the possibility of a nomination has changed the actors' lives. Agents, publicists, make-up artists, local celebrity reporters, and other bit players round out the backstage ensemble. Hooray for Hollywood!
Leave your thoughts about For Your Consideration.
| The Sun (UK)Johnny VaughanEasily the funniest film I've seen this year. DON'T MISS IT. |
| Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerFor Your Consideration is, except for "Borat," the funniest film of the year. Or, it's the funniest film that you don't have to watch through parted fingers. |
| The Hollywood ReporterMichael RechtshaffenThe outrageously hilarious For Your Consideration was well worth the wait. Again delivered with comic precision by Guest's crack repertory company, his patented brand of parody takes affectionate but deadly aim at its awards buzz mania target and the results aren't just funny, they're face-hurting funny. |
| Baltimore SunMichael SragowEmily Dickinson wrote, "Hope is the thing with feathers." When Woody Allen published his second collection, he called it Without Feathers. Guest is as sharp and original as Allen, but he hasn't lost hope. For Your Consideration -- disillusioned but also fresh and ticklish -- is a thing with feathers, too. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumEach and every character in Christopher Guest's latest hilarious cultural corrective is something inspiring to behold. |
| New York Daily NewsJack MathewsThis is Guest's fourth ensemble parody of showbiz subjects, and though his sketch-comedy style and acting troupe are now familiar, this is his most accomplished movie. |
| Murphy's Movie ReviewsTed MurphyThe problem with FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION is that it breaks the cardinal rule of comedy: it just isn't funny. |
| Laramie Movie ScopeRobert RotenI would rather stay home and watch TV than walk across the street to watch this movie for free. |
| Sacramento BeeCarla MeyerJane Lynch and Fred Willard are consistent bright spots as "Entertainment Tonight"-style bozo TV hosts fanning the flames of Purim fever. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole SmitheyThe film-within-a-film narrative device falls flat because the inner story is a melodrama with no comic momentum of its own. |
