CGiii Comment
A disgraceful and redundant re-make of Francis Veber's 1998 comic mini-masterpiece "The Dinner Game."
No wonder Hollywood covets (and deserves) such derision.
And...Rudd, an actor who consistently chooses all the wrong options.
Walliams...your appeal and talent are limited - as you expertly demonstrate in this trash...stick to the charity swims!
Sacha Baron Cohen and all your cronies...be ashamed, be very ashamed.
One god-awful experience.

The(ir) Blurb...
Tim (Rudd) is a rising executive who "succeeds" in finding the perfect guest, IRS employee Barry (Carell), for his boss's monthly event, a so-called "dinner for idiots," which offers certain advantages to the exec who shows up with the biggest buffoon.
