This Is Spinal Tap
Best In Show
When Christopher Guest - writer of ‘This Is Spinal Tap’ and ‘Waiting For Guffman’ -releases a new film, you can’t help but feel both excited and burdened with the weight of expectation. You expect wit. You expect loveable, awkward characters. You expected Eugene Levy. And thankfully, you get it (and them) all.
’For Your Consideration’follows a group of Hollywood players working on an small, independent film‘Home for Purim’. Mocumenting the film within the film, Guest (who alsoplays the director on screen) depicts the egos, the relationships and the bizarre antics using characters from all facets of the media industry: the PR machine, the television hosts, the writers, the director, the producer, the business men and of course, the actors.
With ridiculous one-liners and a guest appearance from Ricky Gervais (who, it’s confirmed, will never shake off Brent), the only criticism we might have of Guest’s ‘For Your Consideration’ that it is well, so very Guest. But who has time for bitching anyway.
