Dinner for Schmucks

It cost around $70 million, according to the Los Angeles Times, which is about $5 million per laugh if I'm generous.

When scene after scene falls flat, and the film seems a lot longer than it actually is, you know that this is a comedy that just isn't working.

Steve Carell and Paul Rudd fizzle in this dire, painfully overlong comedy bomb.

Francis Veber's 1998 Le Dîner de Cons was no great shakes, but it looks almost classy next to this atrocious remake.

A buttock-clenchingly bad film.

You may feel an idiot for staying with it till the end.

Though filled with notable stars and plenty of hilarious bit roles, the movie as a whole drags and annoys, and ultimately proves a little two-faced.

It's worth staying until the end. [Full review in Spanish]

The majority of comedy comes from Carell, who singlehandedly serves up a combination of slapstick, contorted facial expressions, immaturity, and introverted conversations.

One of summer 2010's most satisfying comedies.
