For Your Consideration - Rob

In case you thought Christopher Guest's best work was behind him, or that another movie with the same format and same cast couldn't be anything fresh, think again.

With "For Your Consideration," Guest may have done his best work yet. It's hilariously funny, heartwrenchingly touching, and just a great movie all-around. Guest has made some of my favorite films, including "Best In Show," "Waiting for Guffman," and "A Mighty Wind." This film takes its rightful place next to those classics, without reservation.

As always, Guest takes you behind the scenes to learn the slightly exxaggerated truth about, in this case, the "movie biz." Watching, you have no doubt that these wacky characters and the things they say are caricatures of real "Hollywood types," which makes it that much more enjoyable.

I clicked "play all" on the special features, and after every deleted, extended or alternate scene, I found myself hoping there was just one more. And they kept coming, just as enjoyable as the film itself.

VERDICT
WHO FELL ASLEEP: both (it's been a rough week)
WHO RECOMMENDS IT: both - highly
BUY/RENT/SKIP: buy if you love Chris Guest, otherwise rent
