Up-and-coming exec Tim (Paul Rudd) receives his first invitation to the ‘dinner for idiots’, a monthly event hosted by his boss that promises bragging rights to the exec - who shows up with a social buffoon, played by Steve Carrell. Sound funny? It is.
A hilarious comedy from the director of Meet the Parents and brought to you by our pals at Paramount Pictures, you can win this corker if you tell us another film Paul Rudd’s starred in.
