For Your Consideration | Ratings & Reviews

"Wisely abandoning the mockumentary approach they'd taken about as far as it could go, Guest and Levy have expanded their rep company of players and utilized an obviously larger budget to widen the net of their cultural satire in snugly cut narrative form. Crucially, they've preserved an anarchic, zinger-fueled wit that works chiefly because they continue to simultaneously embrace and condemn the cruel superficiality of their self-absorbed losers..."

"Funny? Yes. Revealing? No. By and large, the movie is content to offer amusing caricatures and leave it at that..."

"Catherine O'Hara is comic perfection as Marilyn Hack..."

Rolling StoneRolling Stone

"From the beginning, something doesn't feel quite right about their latest romp. The characters are sketchier, the situations more contrived and the laughs are fewer and far between..."

Premiere MagazinePremiere Magazine

"The 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..."

Hollywood ReporterHollywood Reporter

"We expect oddball wit of a higher calibre from Guest and co., although their inherent, zany likeability means plenty of laughs..."

Empire MagazineEmpire Magazine

"True, Hollywood's not difficult to caricature, but For Your Consideration is more than willing to savage the hand that feeds it. Even the critics get a roasting, a hilarious spoof of Ebert & Roeper trumped only by Fred Willard's hideous TV presenter, a man so dumb he thinks subtitles are breaking news..."
