 Dinner for Schmucks is an upcoming comedy film. It will be directed by Jay Roach and it will be a remake of the 1998 French black comedy film The Dinner Game.
Tim (Paul Rudd), an up-and-coming executive who has just received his first invitation to the "dinner for idiots," a monthly event hosted by his boss that promises bragging rights (and maybe more) to the exec that shows up with the biggest buffoon. Tim's fiancée, Julie, finds it distasteful and Tim agrees to skip the dinner, until he bumps into Barry (Steve Carell) – an IRS employee who devotes his spare time to building elaborate taxidermy mouse dioramas – and quickly realizes he's struck idiot gold.
Tim can't resist, and invites Barry, whose blundering good intentions soon sends Tim's life into a frenzied downward spiral and a series of comic misadventures, threatening a major business deal, bringing crazy stalker ex-girlfriend, Darla, back into Tim's life and driving Julie (or so Tim thinks) into the arms of another man.
French filmmaker Francis Veber has long been a keen observer of human behavior, casting an eye to the comic foibles of everyday people who, for whatever (un)fortunate reason, find themselves at the center of some absurd situation or another—someone pretending to be someone else, or dealing with a make-or-break moment in life while simultaneously crossing the path of, well, someone extraordinary.
