It follows a familiar plotline with familiar twists, and while Carell and the gang valiantly try to transcend the material, even they can only go so far. June 7, 2019 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

When it comes to comedy, there's a fine line between making the audience laugh and just making people uncomfortable. Unfortunately, I felt more of the later in Dinner for Schmucks. May 9, 2019 | Rating: D+ | Full Review…

The actors have been placed in a story that is not inherently funny, and they do what they can to muscle it, through their not inconsiderable talents, into working. It doesn't, and you can see the sweat. June 22, 2013 | Rating: D+ | Full Review…
