Critic Reviews

  • Joe Baltake, Passionate Moviegoer

    'Dinner for Schmucks': Good Movie, Bad Title

  • Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post

    The movie has a slew of goofball moments that don't add up to a consistently hilarious outing.

  • Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

    With moments of fitful hilarity, the pairing of Paul Rudd, Steve Carell and a talented cast of secondary actors, there's plenty here to keep summer comedy fans satiated, if not entirely satisfied.

  • Tom Long, Detroit News

    Pure, tasteless slapstick silliness with little on its mind beyond cheap yuks.

  • Ann Hornaday, Washington Post

    Dinner for Schmucks may be as broad as the proverbial groaning board, but Rudd and Carell bring out its most toothsome delights.

    I think this is rating so highly with me because I just loved all the little stuffed mice dressed up and put in poses! (What can I say, I am a little twisted!). This wasn't bad, for a movie I never set out to watch, I was pleasantly surprised by it. Yes, it's a bit silly,… More

    Steve Carrell's character was a bit too much I guess. I mean seriously? You'll jump in front of a car for a dead mouse? I did laughed few times but I expected more from him. He's one of my fave comedy actor.

  • Emily A


    This movie is a lot of fun, and it's interesting to see a film peopled with characters that are both cartoonish but grounded with a great deal of humanity. Barry isn't simply a one-dimensional, obnoxious doofus; He actually really cares about his friends and feels pain very… More
