Much like Carell’s role in “The Office”, Barry is the kind of simpleton creature who for some reason remains likeable despite his abject cluelessness. Our main Schmuck Barry ( Steve Carell) may be the lynchpin for some of the biggest laughs and deepest moments of heart, but it is his ever-present ability to drag endearing over the edge to obnoxious that leaves the most lasting memory. Diminishing Returns himself, Jay Roach, dragging your mind back to reality and the harsh truth awaiting. But then you recall this is Hollywood and its director is Mr. You’ve seen the trailers and heard Larry Wilmore speak the words, “Best dinner ever!” so you hope the title describes the setting for the majority of the film, a wild and crazy combination of kooks, suits, and the large chasm which divides them.
After all, the one to make company owner Fender ( Bruce Greenwood) laugh most is awarded a trophy for his/her trouble a chalice designating the winner as “Most Extraordinary” to his face, but “Biggest Loser” behind his back. Both titles allude to the fact a dinner is involved-one hinging on the invitation of guests with high levels of idiocy. When reading the synopsis for 1998s French film Le dîner de cons, I was surprised at how close to the new Americanized version, Dinner for Schmucks, it actually was.
