Dan Kois on "Dinner For Schmucks":
So essentially what we have here is a mainstream comedy in which a totally nice guy has his relationship and career nearly ruined by Brick Tamland, but then, at the end, has to make a speech about how Brick Tamland is really the best—and not an idiot at all. I hope you can see why maybe that story wouldn't be as touching as the filmmakers apparently think it is.This is a movie with a lot wrong with it, but I laughed an awful lot the entire time.
