For my sins I watched “Dinner with Schmucks” the other night. I like Paul Rudd and I like Steve Carell so I thought it would be a safe bet that I’d enjoy this.
Boy, was I wrong.
A woefully misjudged, nasty, and all round unfunny attempt at a comedy. Interestingly enough, the best things about it were Lucy Punch, who I was cracking up in my “Bad Teacher” review – turns out she is both still hot and still funny as a blonde, it wasn’t just the red hair; and Chris O’Dowd, who seems to be breaking Hollywood with a vengeance. Good to see the Brits still representing.
But ultimately, too long, not funny and pretty uncomfortable (and not in a good way). Avoid.
