Julian S It’s essentially O’Hara’s story, as her character, Hack, is the most fully developed—yet even then, you’re left wanting to know more about her. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/25 Full Review David F Christopher Guest’s For Your Consideration is a mockumentary exploring the chaos of Hollywood filmmaking. While it boasts Guest’s trademark colorful ensemble cast, including Eugene Levy, Catherine O’Hara, and much of the Spinal Tap crew, the film ultimately falls short. Its partially improvised dialogue is hit-and-miss, often depending on the actor’s ability to elevate the material. The film’s central conceit—a behind-the-scenes look at the industry—feels too insular to resonate with general audiences. Guest and his team appear so steeped in Hollywood culture that the humor is more likely to amuse insiders than casual viewers. Additionally, the film rehashes the tired trope of perceived resistance to Jewish representation in Hollywood. This premise feels outdated and forced, making the story less compelling. Despite these flaws, the film does succeed in creating an amusing array of quirky characters, thanks to its talented cast. However, For Your Consideration ultimately feels like an inside joke that never quite lands. 5/10 Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/05/24 Full Review 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.
