Chris Guest & company gather together once more for the Academy Award season satirical film For Your Consideration.
It takes some nasty jab at the way Hollywood & the entertainment business runs but I think a lot of the humour is lost on the average viewer with too many "in the biz" jokes and whatnot. Catherine O'Hara shines here as the insecure and manic actress on the verge of hysterics. For some reason Guest decides to drop the mockumentary style he's so good at and it hurts the ab-libbed humour a bit. Beyond it's many shortcomings, FYC is still wickedly funnier than most inane thoughtless comedies today.
