For Your Consideration (2006)

Plot of For Your Consideration

For Your Consideration DVD CoverDebut feature director Jay Berman (Christopher Guest), steers cast and crew through a typically tumultuous independent film Home for Purim, an intimate period drama about a Jewish family's turbulent reunion on the occasion of the dying matriarch's favorite holiday. When Internet-generated rumors begin circulating that three of Purim's stars -- faded luminary Marilyn Hack (Catherine O'Hara), journeyman actor and former hot dog pitchman Victor Allan Miller (Harry Shearer), and ingenue Callie Webb (Parker Posey) -- may be perpetrating Award-worthy performances, a rumble of excitement rattles the cast. Once "Hollywood Now" anchors Chuck Porter (Fred Willard) and Cindy Martin (Jane Lynch) pick up the buzz, Award fever infects the entire production. Unit publicist Corey Taft (John Michael Higgins), talent agent Morley Orfkin (Eugene Levy), and producer Whitney Taylor Brown (Jennifer Coolidge) all smell the sudden potential for a sleeper hit. As does Sunfish Classics President Martin Gibb (Ricky Gervais), who suggests some last-minute changes to the film that he feels will broaden the film's appeal. Meanwhile, Purim's screenwriters, Lane Iverson (Michael McKean) and Philip Koontz (Bob Balaban) grow steadily more horrified as they watch the first film adaptation of their work diverge from their original story. As the hopeful Purim team careens toward the end of production and the upcoming Award season, tenuous relationships and brittle dreams play out in unexpected ways...

Review

For Your Consideration is an intellectual comedy whose DVD release comes at a perfectly planned time.  The movie is about the making of a movie entitled Home For Purim and focuses on the cast of the movie and how a bit of Hollywood spin doctoring could make Oscar nominees out of has-been actors from an indie movie.  The DVD was released at the time of the 2007 Academy Awards and the Jewish festival of Purim.  Although, the title of the movie (within the movie) was changed to better suit a wider audience.  The writing  is sharp and the acting is fresh - unlike many of the over acted movies these days.  If you want to watch and enjoy a movie, then For Your Consideration is a perfect choice.
