Going into this film all I heard that it was another Steve Carell film and that it was ridiculously funny. Now anytime that anyone ever says that to me I think. yeah right and that its going to be crap. Well surprisingly enough it was actually funny.
Steve Carell isn't the protagonist like in 40 year old virgin whereas Paul Rudd is like in I love You Man which is a personal favourite of mine. The story itself is about successful business men all working for a large firm who invite idiots to dinner in order to make fun of them. Paul Rudd trying to break through to the next level of success in the company level 7 has made enough of an impression to have a chance at that life and hence needs to impress a big client at the dinner in order to make it. He runs down Steve Carell who is social awkward and intimidating on screen but at the same time funny and somewhat loveable. You do feel for him once the wackjob nutty guy aspect wares off and they reveal that hes is just a lonely hurt and broken man.
It was lovely to see Jermaine Clements as the sex crazed artist which I thought did a great job. But I cannot stand the same girl who I dont even know her name or could be bothered to look up but is from "The Flight of the Conchords" and several other films i keep seeing her in.
I found the movie to be quite funny and silly at times and overall well balanced even though you know that the good guys win and hes going to get the girl and your just waiting for the last 20 mins for it to happen. But it was still good.
Rating : Funny
