Dinner for Schmucks

Dinner for Schmucks

An ambitious executive accepts an invitation from his boss to attend a dinner party where high-powered professionals make fun of unsuspecting dimwits. Upwardly mobile executive Tim (Paul Rudd) has just landed his company an extremely wealthy Swiss client when his boss, Lance (Bruce Greenwood), invites him to an exclusive, yet unusually mean-spirited dinner party where each of the high-powered executives brings a guest to make fun of. Tim begins to have second thoughts about participating in the elaborate charade when his long-time girlfriend, Julie (Stephanie Szostak), the successful curator at a local art gallery, voices intense disdain for the idea. Soon enough, Barry (Steve Carell), a sweet but dim-witted IRS agent with an unusual hobby is introduced. Tim knows that Barry is his ticket to a big corner office on the seventh floor, but the closer the party looms, the more he realizes that his bumbling new acquaintance isn't just an idiot, but also is a magnet for chaos. Prepare for unparalleled chaos and hilarity in this remake of Francis Veber's 1998 comedy The Dinner Game.
