Dinner For Schmucks, Starring Steve Carell & Paul Rudd–MOVIE REVIEW

MOVIE REVIEW.

Guess who the schmuck is? Me and anyone else who was fooled into hoping that a movie by such comedic powerhouses as Steve Carell and Paul Rudd would be worth the $14 ticket price. Or worth our time.

I wanted to leave the movie 10 minutes into it when I had not even laughed once. Then, Carell made his scene entry into the movie and a smile came across my face. “Carell will make it all better” I thought. Not only did Carell not make the movie any better, he made it agonizingly more painful.

Before you accuse me of not having a sense of humor, know that I have loved the two-previous Rudd and Carell joint ventures: The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. Dinner for Schmucks is nothing like either of those two movies but instead more like a bad Saturday Night Live skit that goes on five minutes too long.

Schmucks uses plenty of cheap, tired, unoriginal tricks throughout to either grab laughs or to advance the plot but fails miserably at both. Best you can hope for are a few scattered laughs, amidst a lot of creepiness, meanness and awfulness. Save your money. Save your time. But, if it’s comedy you’re in the mood for, go see the aptly-named The Other Guys—as those other guys, Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg, brought it! That comedy left both my jaw and stomach in pain from laughing so hard throughout the movie. You can see the full The Other Guys review here.

Steve Carell And Chili’s Make Parody of LeBron James’ The Decision [Video]

VIDEO CLIP OF THE DAY.

  Looks like everyone is making a parody of LeBron James’ “The Decision,”the hour-long live ESPN press conference/announcement LeBron scheduled to tell the world of his decision to leave the Cleveland Cavaliers for the Miami Heat.
John Mayer’s video attempt poking fun of LeBron was not funny. Steve Carell and Paul Rudd, on the other hand, did a fantastic job making a parody of the same for this year’s ESPY Awards. 

What made Carell and Rudd’s version even funnier, is that the restaurant chain, Chili’s, joined in for the fun and reacted to the fake slighting it received by Carell. 


Chili’s posted a disgruntled open letter on Chili’s Facebook page, very much like the open letter that Dan Gilbert, the Cavalier’s majority owner, posted on the Cavalier’s site in response to “The Decision.” The letter posted by Gilbert cost his team a $100,000 fine by the NBA. Chili’s on the other hand is receiving lots of publicity for theirs. 

Chili’s President, Wyman T. Roberts writes in his letter: “Steve Carell’s shameful display of selfishness and betrayal has shifted our ‘motivation’ to previously unknown and previously never experienced levels,” Roberts continued. “His heartless and callous actions will only fuel our constant search for freshness and flavor.  This shocking act of disloyalty from our homegrown ‘funny man’ sends the exact opposite flavor of what we would want our children to taste. And ‘where’ we would want them to go out and eat.”

Good stuff. Actually, great stuff. Wonder if anyone else will try to top Carell and Chili’s.

Amy Ryan Returns To The Office

BREAKING CELEBRITY NEWS.


  We all know by now that Steve Carell is leaving The Office after this upcoming season. This departure will be a huge blow to the show as this show is extremely ensemble-cast-centric and I believe any changes will hurt the dynamics tremendously. But let’s hope I am wrong.

So, I’ve been thinking: The only thing that will make Carell’s  departure any less painful on loyal fans such as myself is if Carell’s character, Michael Scott, leaves Dunder Mifflin because he has finally found true love and pursues his heart somewhere outside of Scranton. 
Well, looks like the show’s producers have read my mind and are bringing Amy Ryan back next season for eight episodes! Amy played Holly Flax, Michael Scott’s love interest in season 5 and gave the character Holly an openness and innocence which in turn exposed a new, more sensitive and sweet side of Michael Scott. Holly ended up breaking Michael’s heart when she transferred out of the state at the end of that season. 
However, last season’s finale showed Jo (Kathy Bates) promising Michael that she would look into transferring Holly back to the Scranton branch. And looks like Jo has delivered on her promise! This is OMG! stuff–I can’t wait until the season premier in September, and can only hope that Holly and Michael end up together, happily ever after.

NBC’s Office Contest: “Meet The Cast”

CONTEST.
   Marcus York is a wheel-chair bound actor who has a recurring part as business park manager, Billy Merchant on NBC’s The Office. Marcus was previously involved in a car accident which rendered him a paraplegic. That is why he also works for SCI Cure, a foundation striving to help those afflicted by spinal chord injury and get them “out of their wheelchairs as quickly as possible.”

SCI Cure needs money to help in researching a cure. How do they intend on raising money? They are asking you to donate $1 towards the cause. That $1 could also win you and a friend an all-inclusive trip to Los Angeles for a taping of The Office.  Oh ya, that means, airfare and a two-night hotel stay for you and a guest, transportation to the studio, and a meet-and-greet with cast members …all for a dollar. 

And as reported earlier, this upcoming season will be Steve Carell’s last season on the show, so, this will be the last chance for meeting him on the set.  “The winner can expect to meet a cast and crew that are probably some of the friendliest people in Hollywood,” York tells PopEater. “And it would certainly assist in bringing in the funding to help the millions of paralyzed individuals worldwide.“



Steve Carell Leaving The Office

BREAKING CELEBRITY NEWS.

  Steve Carell has just confirmed that he is leaving his  role on NBC’s The Office after next season.
Steve says:

“I just think it’s time. I want to fulfill my contract. When I first signed on I had a contract for seven seasons, and this coming year is my seventh. I just thought it was time for my character to go.  It doesn’t certainly mean the end of the show. I think it’s just a dynamic change to the show, which could be a good thing, actually. Add some new life and some new energy…I see it as a positive in general for the show. I didn’t see it as a huge thing and I certainly didn’t anticipate any sort of hubbub over it. I’m just not going to extend my contract, but I didn’t see it as a huge deal. And the show is great, and the ensemble is so strong, and the writers are great, so it’s just one part of that ensemble drifting off. They’ve incorporated so many new characters and so many new, great storylines that I have no doubt it’ll continue as strong if not stronger than ever.”

My Two Cents Worth: I think The Office has the best ensemble cast on TV. However, I just can’t imagine Dunder Mifflin without Michael Scott! It’s the same thing with American Idol; I just can’t imagine American Idol without Simon Cowell. I am hoping that I am wrong, but I just think both shows will tank given the respective blows to each cast.
