Rating: DINNER WITH SCHMUCKS

Hello my friends, hello...
I know it's been a while since my last posting. I've been moving into my new apartment. Photos later to come.
I recently saw a new film a few nights ago called DINNER WITH SCHMUCKS starring PAUL RUDD and STEVE CARELL.
First off, I have to say that this movie was funny. It wasn't like those fucking MICHAEL CERA films where all the funny shit is in the previews. Like SUPERBAD! Oh my fucking god, SUPERBAD! If you were to put all the trailers in one long sequence, it'd be the funniest movie of all time, because its all the funny shit from that movie. I think I'm the only person in North America that couldn't stand SUPERBAD. Although I did find it funny, it was just all the funny shit from the trailers. The trailers are suppose to give you a taste of what's to come, NOT FUCKING GIVE AWAY THE ENTIRE GOOD SHIT. You don't get a taste of the entree, then pay for the FUCKING DRINK AT THE SAME PRICE AS THE ENTREE!?!?! This simple, yet innocent act, cheats people out of their money every time a new film comes out. They entice you; making you think that there's more to the movie than the trailer provided, so when you go to the movie theatre, pay for the film, and as your watching the film; your brain is no longer interested in the funny bits, but the build up and the chaos that follows. Which usually is not very entertaining. It's a cheap shot, and there's no way to know if a movie is doing this unless you go and PAY FOR THE FUCKING FILM!
DINNER WITH SCHMUCKS didn't do that. They're trailers actually gave you a hint of the funny, and then delivered that to the audiences...with double cheese.
Oh man! I want double cheese, brooklyn style pepperonis right about now!
Okay, time to wrap this up!
STEVE CARELL seemed like he was trying way to hard to be stupid, but it worked. Don't ask me how.
PAUL RUDD played his usual character; Normal guy with little intentions and no ego.
And the movie was funny. But not memorable funny. After two days from seeing it, I can't really recall any memorably hilarious quotes from the movie to share with my office coworkers so we can have a gallant chuckle over. Not like SUPERBAD at least.
