Dinner for Schmucks

MOVIE SYNOPSIS, Dinner for Schmucks
Tim, is an up-and-coming executive who has just received his first invitation to the "dinner for idiots," a monthly event hosted by his boss that promises bragging rights to the exec that shows up with the biggest buffoon. Tim's fiancee, Julie, finds it distasteful and Tim agrees to skip the dinner, until he bumps into Barry--an IRS employee who devotes his spare time to building elaborate taxidermy mouse dioramas--and quickly realizes he's struck idiot gold. Tim can't resist, and invites Barry, whose blundering good intentions soon sends Tim's life into a frenzied downward spiral and a series of misadventures, threatening a major business deal, bringing crazy stalker ex-girlfriend, Darla, back into Tim's life and driving Julie into the arms of another man.

Dinner for Schmucks accomplishes something most comedies can't do often. It is consistently funny from start to finish, and it's able to do it with out ruining all of the best parts in the commercials. The plot isn't very substantial and I haven't seen the French film, from which it is based, but the movie was funny enough for me to enjoy it thoroughly with out being bothered by the numerous clichés in it. What makes the film as good as it is, is due in large part to the actors.
