Dinner for Idiots, Because "Schmucks" is a Disgusting Word
This is a dark, dark, dirty, dirty, awkward comedy that's surprisingly sweet, but above all, a very funny crowd-pleasing film that you should feel horrible for laughing at/with. Most of the funny comes courtesy of Steve Carell, where it becomes clear to me that he's one of the greatest comedy ... |

Paul Rudd and Steve Carell reunite for this odd couple comedy where the only way to climb the corporate ladder is to do it on the backs of the entertainingly dim. |
