'The Break-Up'
Times Staff WriterIt's hard to talk about "The Break-Up," which stars Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston as an uncoupling couple bound together by a condo, without getting a couple of words on Vaughn and Aniston's real-life romance, Aniston's recent real-life break-up and...Tags: Gays and Lesbians, Lemons, Lifestyle and Leisure, Minority Groups, Justin Long

'For Your Consideration"
Zap2It.comHaving demolished, sweetly, everything from heavy metal ("This Is Spinal Tap," directed by Rob Reiner) to small-town theatrics ("Waiting for Guffman"), dog shows ("Best in Show") and folkies ("A Mighty Wind"), Christopher Guest and his associates submit...Tags: Bette Davis, Fred Willard, Lifestyle and Leisure, Purim, Jane Lynch

'For Your Consideration'
![Fred Willard's faux-hawk is possibly the best thing about Christopher Guest's "For Your Consideration," a spoof of Oscar season hype co-written with Eugene Levy. It's funny in parts but not half as inspired as past efforts. Still, Willard is a genius at playing dumb, and he knows a kindred hairstyle when he sees one.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2006-11/26454861.jpg "Fred Willard's faux-hawk is possibly the best thing about Christopher Guest's "For Your Consideration,\" a spoof of Oscar season hype co-written with Eugene Levy.

'Teddy Bears' Picnic'
NewsdayDuring the Oscar telecast, Nathan Lane delivered a crack about the Weinstein brothers of Miramax and then mock-apologized. "The rich and powerful," he said. "We make fun of them because we love them." Maybe it's true, because there's a whole lotta love in...Tags: John Anderson, Bob Einstein, Howard Hesseman, Academy Awards, National Football League

Best in Show
TIMES FILM CRITICWednesday September 27, 2000 "Best in Show" has both bark and bite. The latest comic mockumentary to be masterminded by director Christopher Guest, its low-key but sharp and amusing sense of humor is a nice fit with the frenetic world of competitive...Tags: Satire (genre), Norwich, Fred Willard, Dog (animal), Jane Lynch

'A Mighty Wind'
![It's a good thing that Christopher Guest, impresario of the gently faux documentary, wasn't listening when irony was given the boot in the mass media a few years back. Since helping to make cult history with the mock documentary "This Is Spinal Tap," about a lugubriously heavy metal-and-hair band, Guest has been doing his part to help deliver irony from the taint of cynicism. In his own subsequent films, "Waiting for Guffman," "Best in Show" and now "A Mighty Wind," the writer-director has proved that there are times when the art of poking delicate fun isn't just one of the more sincere forms of flattery -- it's among the most loving.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2003-04/7416636.jpg "It's a good thing that Christopher Guest, impresario of the gently faux documentary, wasn't listening when irony was given the boot in the mass media a few years back.

'Jiminy Glick in Lalawood'
![For three seasons on Comedy Central, Jiminy Glick, Martin Short's fat, obsequious, know-nothing celebrity interviewer, bombarded his guests with relentless salvos of inanity. A parody of the already ably self-parodying celebrity interview show genre, "Primetime Glick" allowed Short to sit opposite the likes of Tom Hanks, Steven Spielberg, Ben Stiller and Ellen DeGeneres and, careening between an intimate squeal and an authoritarian baritone, ask things no man not swathed in substantial padding would dare ask — whereupon he would grow instantly bored or annoyed with their answers and wind up upending entire bowls of snacks into his maw before tipping over his chair.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2005-05/17446450.jpg "For three seasons on Comedy Central, Jiminy Glick, Martin Short's fat, obsequious, know-nothing celebrity interviewer, bombarded his guests with relentless salvos of inanity.
