For Your Consideration Ratings & Reviews
I.E. Weekly
Amy Nicholson
The point is that Hollywood types are--gasp!--shallow. If that news shocks anyone, check your pulse, because you may have been in a coma for 80 years.
Austin Chronicle
Josh Rosenblatt
... the real problem with For Your Consideration is that it's just not funny.
The New Yorker
Anthony Lane
In order to stay ahead as a mocker these days, you must nail your subject for good.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Guest and his co-writer, Eugene Levy, aren't afraid to chew off the hand that feeds them.
Arizona Republic
Bill Muller
For Your Consideration won't win an Oscar, but it probably will win some adulation from hard-core Guest fans.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
Individual scenes come across as amusing, but Guest loses comic momentum when he shifts between the shooting of the lachrymose Home for Purim and the segments lampooning entertainment media.
Detroit News
Tom Long
[Director Christoper Guest] finds the absurd (and shares in the discovery with his cast) but always sees some human, tender truth behind the laugh lines. As a result, For Your Consideration is certainly worth your consideration.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
Much of the funniest material is mined from the attendant media hoopla drummed up by the vacuous hosts of an "Entertainment Tonight"-style show hosted by predictably hilarious Fred Willard and Jane Lynch.
Denver Post
Michael Booth
Inside the awfully good comedy For Your Consideration is a purely awful drama, dying to break out.
TIME Magazine
Richard Schickel
You have to admire the economy of Guest's work, his ability to work on a small scale and his deadpan skill at keeping his actors on the emotional reservation -- calmly facing down emotional chaos.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
While that title raises expectations for delicious humor, what we see of the movie itself is foolish and flat.
AV Club
Tasha Robinson
Much of For Your Consideration feels shrill and off-base, like it's working too hard and reaching too far.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
... a quiet but often giggly pleasure.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
For Your Consideration becomes more effective as it gets more cutting.
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
... Christopher Guest's aim in For Your Consideration is hilariously accurate.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
Despite the dead fish floating in this latest barrel, the potshots in For Your Consideration do add up to a knowing jeremiad against the maddening phenomenon of awards-season hype.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Scott Von Doviak
For Your Consideration is aimed straight at the heart of the Hollywood beast. Unfortunately, Guest's aim isn't what it used to be.
RogerEbert.com
Jim Emerson
Like Guest's other films, For Your Consideration is extremely funny and tinged with sadness and disappointment, the kind that accompanies all of our inevitable adjustments to dreams deferred and downsized.
Los Angeles Times
Carina Chocano
For Your Consideration is the first of Guest's films to be filmed as a narrative rather than a mock-documentary, but somehow it still feels a little played out and in need of a rest.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
Hollywood is rife for satire, but it's been done before.
