Guest and his co-writer, Eugene Levy, aren't afraid to chew off the hand that feeds them.

For Your Consideration won't win an Oscar, but it probably will win some adulation from hard-core Guest fans.
Bill Muller, Arizona Republic
Rotten
Individual scenes come across as amusing, but Guest loses comic momentum when he shifts between the shooting of the lachrymose Home for Purim and the segments lampooning entertainment media.
Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer
Rotten
Fans of Guest's brand of repertory-company character comedies will find a few reasons to grin. But even the fanatical will have to admit that this one is hardly worth considering.
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
