Early Review! Dinner For Schmucks!

Dinner For Schmucks
Starring Paul Rudd, Steve Carrell and Zach Galifinakis (he's in 2 scenes)
Directed by Jay Roach
Rated pG-13

The trailers had me thinking either two things: this film is going to be hilarious or god-awful. I was really hoping for the first one because i thought this the premise (which is based of a french film) was a really original idea that could of been one of the strangest, weirdest comedies in years.
Well, instead it was one of the worst comedies I've seen in a while. Now, the movie had funny parts and could of been hilarious but every character was painfully annoying and stupid that when the comedy came it wasn't funny, it was arrogant and stupid. Paul Rudd just doesn't try and Steve Carrell was funny but needed a better movie. And Zach Galifinakis is funny but only in the movie for like 10 minutes so it's forgettable. But my biggest problem with the movie was the dinner was only about 20 minutes of the film which is sad because it was the best part about the film. The movie fails on almost every level and I wanted to leave like halfway through because this movie was just painful and stupid. And don't get me wrong, I love stupid comedies but not when the characters literally have no redeeming or likable qualities. Please skip this movie!

P.S People were laughing in the theatre and it did get applause at the end, so maybe I was the wrong audience but I'm pretty sure every one in that audience was stupid and had no taste.
