Rising executive Tim Conrad works for a boss who hosts a monthly dinner in which the guest who brings the biggest buffoon gets a career-boost. Tim plans on not attending until he meets Barry, a man who builds dioramas using stuffed mice. Barry's blundering but good intentions send Tim's life into a downward spiral, threatening a major business deal and possibly scuttling Tim's engagement to his fiancee.

Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Pure, tasteless slapstick silliness with little on its mind beyond cheap yuks.

rotten:
With moments of fitful hilarity, the pairing of Paul Rudd, Steve Carell and a talented cast of secondary actors, there's plenty here to keep summer comedy fans satiated, if not entirely satisfied.

rotten:
The movie has a slew of goofball moments that don't add up to a consistently hilarious outing.

rotten:
A decent cast wrestle with a crummy script in this loose and creaky Hollywood spin on Le Diner de Cons...

You know you're in trouble when the best thing in your movie is a bunch of dead rodents.
