- Steve Carell plays probably his dweebiest role to date in Dinner for Schmucks. A mouse taxidermy hobbyist, he unwittingly finds himself participating in a 'dinner for idiots'. read more »

  dissapointing film
  
  Well took ages to get going and when it did, there was only a few parts that made me laugh, there are much better comedies than this so give this one a miss.

  Very Watchable, Funny and Sweet
  
  This was so much better and sweeter than I had thought it would be. A very funny film with a fairly predictable story but really well done

  Don't waste your rental.
  
  I'm a big fan of Paul Rudd, bit honestly, it's not worth the rental.
  
  I wouldn't even watch it if it was on TV.
  
  Awful. Shame ... read more »

  This film is brilliant, i was in tears of laughter. its the silly kind of comedy that Steve Carrell is known and loved for, could watch it again and again.

  The only schmuck here is me.
  
  I like Steve Carell but he needs to change his choice of movies and quickly.
  
  He is seriously in danger of going down the same route as Jim Carrey , ... read more »

  I really should read reviews before I rent films!

  Pathetic
  
  Unbelievable! From the ham acting, to the (very) cheap laughs, to the fact the film was even made. Very, very poor - don't bother.
