Dinner for Schmucks


"You might say that I'm a dreamer, but I'm not" If you're interested in some incredible gut busting laughs, this movie might be your ticket. Paul Rudd and Steve Carrel have some great chemistry going, not including the momentary, close enough to make out, spacial invasion that gives you an idea of how uncomfortable Barry is going to be making Tim.
The movie picks up laughs at the opening credits and only lets up to move you along the story line. I loved that every aspect of the movie led to better laughs from the supporting cast, including the vain artist Kieran who looks great in hooves or holding a newborn zebra and the always funny Zach Galifianakis as Therman, who was blessed with mind control. Sometimes characters like Barry (Steve Carrel) get old because they're not multidimensional but he makes it work and they round out his character as needed as you find yourself touched by his silent turmoil. Check this out unless you have a problem with dead mice in cute outfits.
