Dinner for Schmucks

Point I Fell Asleep: ACTUALLY STAYED AWAKE
Location: Theater
Time I Started Movie: Primetime
IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0427152/

So I got a free screening pass to this movie tonight. If you don't know what this movie is about (I didn't either before watching the movie), it's about this CEO who holds a weekly dinner at his house and his guests/buddies are supposed to invite an 'idiot.' Then everyone at the table laughs and makes fun of them. Yeah, I'm not sure how this movie got made either. Anyhow, the first 15 minutes were pretty funny, but then it just got stupid. You laughed here and there, but for the most part, I just felt awkward and bad for Steve Carrell (he was the idiot) and Paul Rudd (the person who had to deal with the idiot). I don't know; I'm not a fan of movies that make fun of stupid people. Sorry. Watch it on a plane or your Netflix queue, but don't waste your money on this movie. By the way, when the movie ended, some people were clapping and laughing, and I turned to David and asked him, "Why are people clapping? Was the movie good cuz I thought it was stupid." Sure enough, on my way out, I overheard a handful of people say, "it got stupid." Word.
