Reviews


80
Variety - Unnamed
An uproarious odd-couple remake of Francis Veber's hit French farce "The Dinner Game."
75
Orlando Sentinel - Roger Moore
The situations are painstakingly set up and downright painful to sit through. So enjoy, or endure the appetizers, because with this Dinner, dessert is truly the topper.
75
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
The guests at the dinner are a strange lot. To describe them would be to give away their jokes, and one of the pleasures of the movie is having each one appear.
70
The Hollywood Reporter - John DeFore
Though Carell and Rudd are both saddled with characters that just aren't as interesting as many they've played in the past, the movie benefits from having drawn many gifted comedians to supporting roles.
67
Tampa Bay Times - Steve Persall
Steve Carell's character in Dinner for Schmucks is almost too pitiful for the jokes launched against him to be funny. It is a terrific performance making everyone else's condescension sound harsher than the writers likely intended.
