"[T]he movie benefits from having drawn many gifted comedians to supporting roles..."
Hollywood Reporter "Steve Carell is a comic wonder as the film's No.1 schmuck."
Rolling Stone 3 stars out of 5 -- "Roach is particularly well suited for this brand of situation comedy and offers up some great moments..."
Box Office 3 stars out of 4 -- "The genius of this version depends on the performance by Steve Carell, who plays Barry Speck as a man impervious to insult and utterly at peace with himself. He's truly a transcendent idiot."
Chicago Sun-Times 3 stars out of 4 -- "Rudd is a deft straight man, with subtly humorous moves and deadpan reactions....Carell strikes comic gold as a bucktoothed taxman..."
USA Today "SCHMUCKS culminates in an absurd dinner highlighted by the appearance of Zach Galifianakis as Carell's delusional foe."
A.V. Club "It reads a careful boundary between nasty and sweet, balancing the rude humor of humiliation with an affirming, tolerant, almost scolding final message: Be nice!"
New York Times "DINNER FOR SCHMUCKS keeps it breezy....Rudd and Carell have just the charisma, alertness and dexterity to make DINNER FOR SCHMUCKS work."
