COMEDY
Actors shooting a mawkish melodrama (it's called Home for Purim) become convinced, after a single laudatory Web posting, that they'll all win Oscars. That's the latest setup for director-cowriter Guest (Best in Show) and his band of pranksters to merrily skewer Hollywood hype. Using a squirt gun loaded with acid, Consideration targets vain actors, pea-brained producers and prattling infotainment show hosts (Fred Ward and the ever splendid Jane Lynch). Everyone is a hoot—with top honors going to O'Hara, that gifted queen of the bittersweet, who plays a veteran actress tellingly named Marilyn Hack. (PG-13)
