Christian Science Monitor
For Your Consideration is, except for "Borat," the funniest film of the year. Or, it's the funniest film that you don't have to watch through parted fingers. - 91
Entertainment Weekly
Each and every character in Christopher Guest's latest hilarious cultural corrective is something inspiring to behold. - 90
The Hollywood Reporter
The outrageously hilarious For Your Consideration was well worth the wait. Again delivered with comic precision by Guest's crack repertory company, his patented brand of parody takes affectionate but deadly aim at its awards buzz mania target and the results aren't just funny, they're face-hurting funny. - 90
Village Voice
It's as weird and whimsical an invention as Guest's "Waiting for Guffman," "Best in Show," or "A Mighty Wind." - 88
Rolling Stone
Catherine O'Hara is comic perfection as Marilyn Hack. - 80
New York Magazine (Vulture)
Gooses you even in its barren patches and gets fresher and funnier as it goes along. It builds to a shriekingly funny (and scary) revelation and a dénouement so brilliant it's almost demonic. - 80
Variety
It will garner critical huzzahs from those it lampoons, which will broaden the duo's (Christopher Guest and Eugene Levy) fan base. - 75
ReelViews
For Your Consideration will not go down as one of Guest's crown jewels, but it's nevertheless engaging.
