Dinner for Schmucks

Silly silly silly schtuff - beginning to end!

Steve Carell (The Office) and Paul Rudd (Forgetting Sarah Marshall) star in this .... is farce the word? We have definitely left the realm of reality behind only minutes into this film and it takes off on wings of its own from there.

Paul Rudd wants a promotion. His last obstacle to getting the promotion is to attend a "Dinner for Schmucks", a very cruel event that his boss holds each month whereby each exec brings along an idiot and the others secretly make fun of them, laughing at how ridiculous they are, and awarding one of them the biggest idiot of the night. It's really mean. Guess who Paul Rudd brings? If you guess Steve Carell you just won a stuffed mouse! Carell's character makes adorable dioramas of dead mice, stuffed and dressed up in real world scenarios. They are supposed to be ridiculous but I have to say, many of them were really adorable! :)

Steve Carell is very funny and completely ridiculous. If you're a fan already you will love him in this.

Another oddball character is Zach Galifianakis (from The Hangover) - we loved his weirdo mind control persona.

Overall this movie is alot like eating candy. It's delicious, tasty, but really not much actual substance. A lot of silly laughs and a good way to pass a very hot summer day. We had fun at this one.

Pueblo Tinseltown was the place - we were pleased to see Super Manager Shane working hard with a smile. The popcorn was fresh and hot and plenty of sprinkle cheese! All in all just a silly, fun time at the movies. What more can you ask for?
