Steve Carell = Francois


in an american remake, I love this movie, I just saw it, Hilarious yet real

My advice to you, when she straps one on, Bend over, bite down hard and just take it.

I hope they don't remake it. There was a very funny French movie called "The Dinner Game" made by the same man who wrote "The Closet" In fact in both movies a character has Pignon's name.

The movie is about some successful men who have a regular dinner. Each has to take a turn finding the stupidest boring person they can as a guest. The guest never has a clue as to why he is invited.

Well, they have made an American version with Steve Carrell called "Dinner for Schmucks." I have no intention of seeing it. It already sounds like it was dumbed down.

Please no... Americans just will make something horrible and call it comedy.

I don't hate Steve Carell but I don't think he's funny. "Dinner for Schmucks" was more like a "Movie for Schmucks" and I totally regret watching it. Some 'idiot' movies are funny but Americans usually overdo it. I also hope they won't make a remake.

Steve Carell is one of my favourite comedy actors and he IS funny if given the right material and "Dinner for Schmucks" was not good material.

reply

I agree, he is actually very talented but he has a particular style that needs a certain sensibility in the material.
