Gareth v A rather forgettable effort considering the high standards Guest has set over the years. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/19/23 Full Review Kyle M Dated and short-sighted, as well ever cringy increased as the grasped satirical scope's aimed comedy decreased rather blandly due to looks of constipation except for Fred Willard actually making invasive efforts near the end for amusing comedic timing. (C+) Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/23/22 Full Review william d I'm a big fan of the Guest/Levy/O'Hara collaborations, but this one just didn't seem all that funny to me. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review james b I have to be completely honest. I did not think this was very good. I love Christopher Guest movies and some of his movies are in my top 10 of all time. This one was just so disjointed though. I kind of laughed a couple of times, but for the most part I was just waiting for it to improve. I would pass on this one if I'm being honest. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review dave s With For Your Consideration, Christopher Guest departs from the mockumentaries he is noted for. This may not have been a good idea. In fact, For Your Consideration would have been perfect material for a mockumentary but Guest opted for a standard narrative. The film includes Guest's regular ensemble, plenty of quirky characters, seemingly improvised dialogue and some tepid satire. It centers around the production of the low budget film Home for Purim, a movie destined for the discount bin at Walmart. The movie certainly has some laughs and isn't a bad way to waste eighty minutes, but there's a mean-spirited feel to it once the actors of Purim catch wind that they are being considered for Oscar nominations, resulting in a final fifteen minutes that borders on downright depressing, never a good way to end a comedy. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member A brilliant film. Deftly mixes farce and satire, broad comedy and subtle character humor, as it builds to a deflating climax with a darker tone than Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show, or Mighty Wind. Loved them all, but this one goes a step further, puncturing the bubble of blissful self-ignorance in which Guest's characters typically operate. Here, each has a brief moment of self-realization in which they stare into the grand canyon of their own absurdity, and each handles it differently. Even Fred Willard's character, for cripes sake, has a glimmer of awareness in his final moment on screen. My jaw dropped. It was… profound.
