Steve Carell stars in an off-the-wall comedy about a guy you definitely don't want to come to dinner!

Up-and-coming executive Tim (Paul Rudd) is hoping for a big promotion, but first he has to pass a cruel and unusual test. Every month his boss (Bruce Greenwood) hosts a 'dinner for idiots', where he and his cronies each invite an unsuspecting patsy for the sole purpose of making fun of them. Horrified, Tim's fiancee Julie (Stephanie Szostak) convinces him to skip the dinner, but that's before Tim bumps into Barry (Steve Carell). A nerdish tax office worker who devotes his spare time to building elaborate dioramas featuring stuffed mice, Barry is the Holy Grail of idiots. Unable to resist, Tim invites Barry to the dinner, but things don't work out quite as planned. Likeable Barry turns out to be a walking disaster area, and his blundering good intentions soon send Tim's life into a frenzied downward spiral and a series of crazy comic misadventures.
