When I first saw the trailer for the film, I knew I had to see it! And I wasn't disappointed at all. This comedy stars Paul Rudd as Tim, a financial executive trying to work his way up in the company. He impresses his boss and then gets invited to a "dinner for winners" event, where he must find an "extraordinary" person and bring them to the dinner. The most extraordinary person will win a trophy. He soon finds out that it is a "dinner for idiots" instead. He meets Barry (Steve Carell), a bizarre character who is a taxidermist for mice as a hobby. He also has no self-awareness and isn't very smart. Tim chooses to take Barry as his guest to the dinner. The film continues as they develop a friendship.
This movie was laugh-out-loud the entire time! It was hilarious! It has a great message, and is hysterical at the same time. Paul Rudd and Steve Carell have amazing chemistry together in their 3rd film together. It is brilliantly written and does a great job of exploiting both leads to their full potential.
I'm definitely getting this film on DVD when it comes out. It is by far one of the best films of the year--and definitely the funniest!
Overall Grade: A+
