For Your Consideration - Christopher Guest

Seen for the first time in February 2013.

"For Your Consideration" is one of Guests stronger efforts along with "Best in Show," and a lot better than the middling "A Mighty Wind." It seems a bit mean-spirited at times, especially the plastic surgery joke, but it takes an easy target, i.e. Hollywood, and pokes some light trivial fun at it. Fred Willard is outstandingly funny and so is the ventriloquist weather girl, but the whole ensemble works pretty well. Unlike, "A Mighty Wind" this film has actual laughs. Grade B+.
