Dinner for Schmucks

I don’t know why I expected the dinner to be central to the movie. From what I remember of the marketing, it seemed like that’s how it was. Instead, it’s another “innocent idiot disrupts an uptight person’s life, but it helps the uptight guy see how he’s been living life wrong” movie. Think Due Date without a road trip. Role Models without the two working together. There’s a million of these movies and this is one of them. Rudd and Carrell are good in their positions as straight man and socially awkward doofus respectively, but it’s nothing you haven’t seen before. You’ll laugh, but when you’re done, you’ll forget it. There’s just nothing memorable here.
