For Your Consideration movie is a clever spoof

For Your Consideration

Director: Christopher Guest

Cast: Harry Shearer, Christopher Guest, Fred Willard, Catherine O’Hara

Cert: 12

A look, documentary style, at what goes on when Hollywood sets out to make a movie – Shearer was, after all, co-writer of the classic mockdoc Spinal Tap – and a much more clever spoof than Epic Movie.

Problem is, of course, that Hollywood is easy meat for the extraction of the Michael – the egos, the bitching and in-fighting, the air-kissing – so the cast has to put the meat on the bones with a string of good one-liners.

But, ultimately, can you really spoof that most glorious spoof of all: Hollywood itself?

Star Rating: 3/5
