Two Geeks and a GIT Classic Movie Reviews

For Your Consideration (2006)


Listen Later

Our second look at the life and work of Catherine O'Hara also rounds out our examination of Christopher Guest's classic film work! In 2006's "For Your Consideration," O'Hara plays Marilyn Hack, an aging actress in a little independent film called "Home for Purim." She's working alongside another veteran actor, Victor Allen Miller (Harry Shearer), young ingenue Callie Webb (Parker Posey) and her boyfriend and in-film brother, Brian Chubb (Christopher Moynihan). After being informed that a film-based website has mentioned that Marilyn's work could be creating some "Oscar buzz," things start to get a bit more tense on-set. Victor's agent, Morley Orfkin (Eugene Levy) is trying to figure out how to turn this to his (and his client's) advantage. Director Jay Berman (Guest) is trying to ignore it and get the best performances he can from his actors. Producer Whitney Taylor Brown (Jennifer Coolidge) is only concerned with budget and promotion. Writers Phillip Koontz (Bob Balaban) and Lane Iverson (Michael McKean) are just trying to safeguard their script's inherent culture and make sure the concept remains intact. Then another member of the cast is mentioned as an Oscar contender, then another, and things go completely off the rails. Also starring Ed Begley Jr., Somon Helberg, Rachael Harris, Richard Kind, Fred Willard, and Jane Lynch! And the gents announce another honorary pairing, this time for two actors who recently passed away.
