Dinner With Schmucks - Steve Carell & Paul Rudd

3/10

What a MISERABLE movie. You know those scenes in The Office where Michael Scott just makes you squirm in your seat in embarrassment? This ENTIRE movie was like those unbearable scenes of embarrassment.

The only tolerable ( and the only funny part) of the film was the actual dinner which circumferences maybe 20 minutes of the film.

Don't waste your time unless you like to be tortured.

Carell did not create anything new here. Instead he put in false teeth and acted like the unbearable side of his Michael Scott character.

Paul Rudd typically plays the cute, lovable loser very well (see I Love You, Man) but here he is inept, unfunny, not charming & at times interoperable to watch. I have loved every Rudd role from Wet Hot American Summer to The 40 Year Old Virgin - This is his weakest performance to date.
