Dinner for Schmucks is truly awful

Critic Rating
Reader Rating 0

This truly terrible comedy has Paul Rudd invited to a dinner by his bosses at which the dumbest guest will be the attraction. At first he thinks it may be him but then he meets Steve Carell, whom he knocks down in his Porsche.

Directed by Jay Roach and based on the infinitely superior Le Dîner de Cons, Schmucks takes a long time to reach its climax, and when it does it manages to be totally unfunny.

Dinner For Schmucks
