Dinner for Schmucks
« on: August 15, 2010, 10:53:07 AM »
No one has posted about this yet?  Maybe Mrs. Cubbieblue is right.  She says that I owe her for this one.  I think that she is just trying to clear the books and get us even for "Julie and Julia".  I enjoyed this movie.  It has a cloying ending and the "Schmuck off" between Carrell and Galifanakis which is suppposed to be the grand climax just didn't get there.  But the movie as a whole is very funny.  You can really see echoes of the French farce that inspired the movie.  In the French original they never even show the actual dinner.  This movie would have been better without it, because the build up is so great that the dinner couldn't possibly meet your expectations.  The blind fencer was funny, but there is nothing funny about the lady who has dry heaves while she talks to the spirits of the dead animals at the dinner table.  Steve Carrell is very good, and Paul Rudd will go down in movie history as one of the greatest straight men of all time.
If I had known that I was going to live this long I would have taken better care of myself.   (Plagerized from numerous other folks)

We get it, you and IAN are a lot alike and you have nothing to do other than watch movies all weekend.

So it's not as stupid as the adverts would have me believe, then?
You two wanna go stick your wangs in a hornet's nest, it's a free country.  But how come I always gotta get sloppy seconds, huh?

You can't deny the Paul Rudd part, though.

Stew will...because he's the man.
This is so bad, I'd root for the Orioles over this fucking team, but I can't. Because they're a fucking drug and you can't kick it and they'll never win anything and they'll always suck, but it'll always be sunny at Wrigley and there will be tits and ivy and an old scoreboard and fucking Chads.

the downside is that when Paul Rudd does his best straight man work, it usually involves Seth Rogen.
