QUICK TAKE:
Comedy: To get a promotion and convince his girlfriend that he is successful, a young executive is required to attend a dinner with top-level executives in which each much bring a guest worthy of ridicule.
PLOT:
Tim (PAUL RUDD) is a young executive who wants to impress Lance Fender (BRUCE GREENWOOD), the president of his firm, and get a promotion. He believes that if he can show his art dealer girlfriend, Julie (STEPHANIE SZOSTAK), that he is advancing at the company, she will finally agree to marry him.

Fender is impressed with Tim's drive and initiative, so he decides to invite him to a super-secret dinner. The meal is attended only by the company's top-level executives, who are each required to bring to the party one "idiot" that the other execs can ridicule. The one who brings the weirdest person wins Fender's admiration and a trophy. Tim and his secretary, Susana (KRISTEN SCHAAL), sense this will get him the promotion, especially when a major Swiss entrepreneur named Mueller (DAVID WALLIAMS), whose business Tim has helped to cultivate, is also invited to attend.

Tim thinks he has lucked out when he hits eccentric IRS man Barry (STEVE CARELL) with his car one day. Barry spends his spare time dressing up and posing dead mice in elaborate dioramas that he makes in his home. When Tim invites Barry to the dinner, little does he know that he is inviting him into his life.

Barry is soon responsible for ending Tim's relationship with Julie; possibly sending her into the arms of the crazed artist Kieran (JEMAINE CLEMENT); bringing Darla (LUCY PUNCH), a crazed, former one-night stand of Tim's back into his life; and getting Tim audited by the IRS man, Therman (ZACH GALIFIANAKIS), who has stolen Barry's wife and thinks he has the power of mind control. It all comes to a head at the climactic dinner party.

WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT?
Older teens who have enjoyed the various Judd Apatow comedies over the years that feature Rudd and/or Carell will likely have interest.
WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: PG-13
For sequences of crude and sexual content, some partial nudity, and language.
CAST AS ROLE MODELS:
  • PAUL RUDD plays a young executive so obsessed with getting a promotion and convincing his girlfriend that he is marriage material that he agrees to take part in a dinner in which executives invite people they can ridicule. He is a casual drinker.
  • STEVE CARELL plays an introverted IRS agent who makes elaborate dioramas in his spare time that feature dead mice simulating great works of art or great moments in history. He is still hurting from his wife leaving him for a fellow co-worker. He is a decent, but rather slow man who clearly has untreated psychological problems.
  • STEPHANIE SZOSTAK plays Tim's live-in girlfriend, an art dealer who is representing an eccentric, up-and-coming artist. She is still not sure if she wants to be in a committed relationship with Tim and has turned down his proposal of marriage, which leads the man to take chances in his career to prove that he can provide her with the lifestyle he thinks she wants. She is a social drinker.
  • BRUCE GREENWOOD is the president of the company Tim works for, who is impressed with Tim's ambition and energy. He is the one who spearheads the secret dinners in which executives bring along various simpletons and eccentrics as guests to hold up as objects of ridicule and scorn. He is a social drinker.
  • LUCY PUNCH plays a deranged, former one-night-stand of Tim's who has obsessed over him for three years. She is sexually adventurous, highly aggressive, and prone to fits of anger and jealous rage. She is into everything from role-playing to spanking and wants Tim all to herself.
  • ZACH GALIFIANAKIS plays Barry's IRS supervisor, who believes he has the powers of mind control and has even self-published a book on the subject. He has emotionally bullied Barry for some time, having stolen his wife and put him under silly trances in which he makes him do and say things against his will. He is essentially a fraud, though.
  • JEMAINE CLEMENT plays an eccentric artist who Julie represents. He is highly self-centered, as his entire art collection consists of various depictions of himself. He is also sexually promiscuous, engaging in threesomes and secretly hoping to have a physical relationship with Julie.
  • DAVID WALLIAMS plays a wealthy Swiss entrepreneur who also holds "dinners for idiots" back in his home country. He is a social drinker.
  • KRISTEN SCHAAL plays Tim's secretary, who believes he should pretty much stoop to any level to secure a promotion so they both can be elevated to the executive floor. She hints that she is sexually promiscuous and is a casual drinker, as witnessed by her drinking on the job when asked to work on a Saturday.

    HOW OTHERS RATED THIS MOVIE


    Curious if this title is entertaining, any good, and/or has any artistic merit?
    Then read OUR TAKE of this film.


    (Note: The "Our Take" review of this title examines the film's artistic merits and does not take into account any of the possibly objectionable material listed below).


    OUR WORD TO PARENTS:
    The following is a brief summary of the content found in this comedy that's been rated PG-13. Profanity consists of at least 1 "f" word and 7 "s" words, while other expletives and colorful phrases are also uttered.

    Sexually related dialogue is present throughout. The main character goes through much of the film fearing that his girlfriend is having sex with an eccentric artist she is representing. One of his one-night stands comes back to haunt him, too, and behaves in a sexually aggressive manner in the scenes that she is in. There is talk of role-playing, spanking, and other sexual acts. Some mouse dioramas are depicted with the mice in various sexual poses. A photo of woman's buttocks wearing panties factors into the plot. Some likely nude models wear body paint, obscuring their bare private parts.

    Violence consists of a man being hit by a car. Another man has a finger lopped off by a blind man wielding a sword. A crazed woman repeatedly puts another man into various martial-arts holds that causes him pain. She ultimately becomes filled with rage and smashes up his car with a metal sign post.

    Bad attitudes are present throughout, as the whole film is centered around a bunch of executives who put together a dinner party in which each brings an oddball guest to make fun of and feel superior. There is also much potentially imitative behavior. Drinking is present, mostly in social settings, and there's a drug-related comment, while crude humor also occurs.

    If you're still concerned about the film and its appropriateness for yourself or anyone else in your home who may be interested in seeing it, we suggest that you take a closer look at our detailed listings for more specific information regarding the film's content.
