Dave Examines Movies74(full review)
Bryan Lienesch72 - Let's face it: both Paul Rudd and Steve Carrell have done better flicks than this one.
Rob from GuysFilmQuest70
Dan O'Neill65 - The tone may be a little shifty and the central message is very strange as well, but Dinner For Schmucks has a hilarious cast, some very funny moments, and an unabashed sweetness to it that actually brings much more heart to this material than I actually expected.
