Film. For Your Consideration

Film. For Your Consideration: Christopher Guest's latest mockumentary, For yor Consideration, pokes fun at Hollywood. As a writer, director, and actor, Guest has made several mock documentaries, all of which are heavily improvised and utterly hilarious. He's best known for Waiting For Guffman and A Mighty Wind.

Here's the synopsis of For Your Consideration: "A director (Christopher Guest) who's never had a hit pins his hopes on the independent drama Home for Purim, a film set in the 1940s South that's swiftly earning buzz for its performances. Guest's reliable troupe of improv actors - a cast that includes Catherine O'Hara, Parker Posey, Fred Willard, Harry Shearer, Michael McKean and Eugene Levy - grows even funnier with the addition of Ricky Gervais, who plays a Hollywood studio suit."
