Dinner for Schmucks

  • Currently 4/5 Stars.

I'd advixe anybody that wanted a lighthearted comedy with some good slapstick moments to go see this. It paces well to build to the party itself. I thought it was worth a visit. I'd love to mention more but I don't want to give away the jokes. Good stuff though & a good pairing of the lead actors.

A little bit of a standard plot but passes an evening without doing too badly. 'C'

If a film gets that many oscars then who am I to say any different. This is a piece of cinema history in the making. 'B++'

Nicely done. Craig proves he isn't just James Bond. Good story too. 'B+'

Gripping drama of an old man struggling to establish his position in a changing society. Great performances from all involved. Well directed too. "A"

Sloopy and badly done. There was so much potential on this that it would be hard to do it wrong, yet they found a way. Ending stank. 'E' Grade (and I rarely give them)

Bale doesn't put his name to any old tripe. Quality material well executed. 'A'

great film. Loved it all. Sam Rockwell proves himself to being more than capable of carrying the whole film and it would be nice to see him get more lead roles. 'A'

Ooooooooh alien film that nobody has really done before! Rare isn't it. But this is a great telling of a "Outer Limits" episode. Captured my interest from start to finish. 'A'

Heart strings being pulled throughout. How does he do it? Good work Pete Docter...director. 'A++'

Ah...when Burton was being original...the good old days. Sadly now he just seems to reuse the same visual style with all his work. Although it will always look good to a brand new audience that has never sampled of Tim's work. 'A'

never hits the mark of its genre, i.e. Sin City. I expected more from this and that's the feeling it leaves it's audience with at the end. 'D'
