Dinner for Schmucks, a 2010 screwball comedy film, is the American adaptation of the French film Le Dîner de Cons ("The Dinner Game"), being described by the director as "inspired by" the original rather than a remake of it. It does retain many familiar elements of the original, with the basic plot including the involvement of the taxation authorities and the love triangle around the main character, but he is made much more sympathetic (this is the first dinner he has participated in, and he is not in fact having an affair or deliberately cheating on his taxes) and the actual dinner is shown.
Runtime 114 mins Release Date Jul 30th 2010

I did manage to watch the entire film. Perhaps I was waiting for an interesting finale, or to find a reason that I did not waste my time. Neither of which came to flourish. You might like the first 5min during the credits if you're a fan of the Sylvanian Families. Other than that, there's not much else. It's really that bad.
