Guest and Levy stick it good to the dark heart of showbiz
Peter Travers
Rolling Stone
Don't try to figure it out. And don't worry if the laughs stick in your throat when you think about them later. That's the point of satire, even one masquerading as farce. Guest and Levy stick it good to the dark heart of showbiz, daring to suggest that the Oscar fever on which Hollywood thrives is a sickness of the soul.

So if you like EW, you'll love For Your Consideration. And you can quote me.
Lisa Schwarzbaum
Entertainment Weekly
Truly, the level of tender, ruthless, inspired, lethally accurate study that has gone into the follicular expression of each and every character in Christopher Guest's latest hilarious cultural corrective is something inspiring to behold.

Almost Best in Show
Richard Schickel
TIME Magazine
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. But what is really terrific about his quietly insinuating work — especially as it flies in the face of Borat's moment — is its (dare I say it?) compassion. He doesn't have or encourage contempt for his people. He loves them in the manner that Preston Sturges once loved his improbable dreamers — without sentimentalizing them but without forgetting that like all of us their misplaced passions are really kinda funny. And infinitely forgivable.

'Consideration' is not Guest's best
Lawrence Toppman
Charlotte Observer
Everyone's entitled to a slump, and this is only the first blah film in five for Guest (if we count "This is Spinal Tap," which he stars in and wrote with McKean, Shearer and Rob Reiner). If he's making just three movies a decade, though, the next one had better lift his average.
