When told the premise of the "Dinner for Schmucks" - invite the most ridiculous moron he can find to see who's schmuck is the winner - Paul Rudd's character says, "That's really messed up!" He's right. A few funny, but mostly cringe-worthy moments in this disappointing movie. Must have sounded good in the high-concept pitch. Or at least better in the original French version. Lots of wasted talent here.Rated PG-13. 114 minutes.
