Dinner for Schmucks is truly awful
By

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 Dīner de Cons, Schmucks takes a long time to reach its climax, and when it does it manages to be totally unfunny.

You are completely wrong, perhaps this sort of comedy does not tickle your pickle, but if this is a comdey which would do so, it's one of the funniest films I have seen for many years. I watched it in a cinema pretty much empty so there was no initiation to laugh when others laugh, I genuinly laughed my ass off throughout the entire film. If your a fan of Steve Carrel you will love it, having Jemaine Clement in it was a bonus for me, being a huge flight of the conchords fan, he plays his role extremely well, this film had all the right ingediants for me, maybe not you, but everybody is different and should learn to formulate their own opinion of something, coming on here and calling it truely awful will make people assume its bad and not watch it, I find it very frustrating.
