Dinner For Schmucks More Little Chef than Michelin stars

Plot Angling for a promotion, executive Tim Wagner (Rudd) agrees to bring a weirdo loser to his boss’ “dinner for winners”, where a prize is offered for the biggest oddball. Tim’s conflicted until he (literally) runs into Barry (Carell), a hapless tax agent who creates artwork with dead mice… Verdict Hardly a classic given the talents of Carell, Rudd and Roach at his best. It bungles utilising plenty of talent in a lightweight comedy effort that brings little fresh to the table.
