Some movies fail to inspire me. During these movies, I sit in the theater thoroughly unengaged. Thus, when I start to write about said movies, I can't really come up with anything meaningful to say. Sure, I could trash the film by writing a scathing pan, but these movies don't offend me so much as they bore me. "Dinner for Schmucks" is one of those movies. While I couldn't muster enough things to say for a full review, I managed to scrape together a few bullet points.

• Rough first act.
• Good performance from Steve Carrell. Not copying his work from "The Office."
• Has some nice moments, but is riddled with lame humor, predictable story arcs, and a genuine lack of tone.
  
• Are we supposed to be making fun of these "schmucks" or are we supposed to feel sorry for them? The movie answers this question, but does so in a way that felt dishonest and hypocritical.
• Fast fade.
• C-
