Dinner for Schmucks(2010)Tim, is an up-and-coming executive who has just received his first invitation to the "dinner for idiots," a monthly event hosted by his boss that promises bragging rights to the exec that shows up with the biggest buffoon. Tim's fiancee, Julie, finds it distasteful and Tim agrees to skip the dinner, until he bumps into Barry--an IRS employee who devotes his spare time to building elaborate taxidermy mouse dioramas--and quickly realizes he's struck idiot gold. Tim can't resist, and invites Barry, whose blundering good intentions soon sends Tim's life into a frenzied downward spiral and a series of misadventures, threatening a major business deal, bringing crazy stalker ex-girlfriend, Darla, back into Tim's life and driving Julie into the arms of another man.

Parkes » See full cast & crew Dinner for Schmucks Blu-ray, Video QualityDinner for Schmucks' 1080p Blu-ray release is solid if not a bit unexceptional. Detail ranges from adequate to better-than-average; the opening sequence featuring Barry's creations sports strong textures in the tiny clothes, wooden accents, woven picnic baskets, and faux grasses. Facial and clothing detail is quite good throughout, too. Colors ever-so-slightly veer towards a warmer tint, but are otherwise steady and honest throughout, whether looking at Barry's purple jacket or some of the many blue shades seen throughout. Flesh tones favor a warmer appearance in most instances, though they occasionally veer far towards a red/orange shade while at other times appearing a bit more pale than normal. Depth is average and softness is never an issue. A moderately heavy layer of grain is retained throughout, lending to the transfer a pleasing cinematic texture. Banding, aliasing, blocking, and other eyesores are absent in any large or discernible quantities. Overall, this is a fine and technically proficient but not necessarily memorable transfer from Paramount. Dinner for Schmucks Blu-ray, Audio QualityDinner for Schmucks is a movie without anything in the way of sonic pizazz, but Paramount's DTS-HD MA 5.1 lossless soundtrack handles the film's limited resources with ease. Music is smooth and efficient, nicely handled and even played with a bit of flair by the front speakers, supported by a light surround element. Environmental atmospherics -- primarily city-related ambience such as walking pedestrians and honking horns -- add some spunk to several otherwise dialogue-heavy outdoor scenes; most such effects are heard primarily in the front with, again, a token amount of surround support. Chapter nine is one of the film's most lively as a few recorded rainforest atmospherics fill the soundstage and do a rather good job of sonically transporting listeners into the unique environment. Additionally, the track features a few well-placed discrete effects that also break up an otherwise talk-heavy soundtrack. Dialogue is handled efficiently and without issue by the center. This is a very basic soundtrack that won't become seared into the memory, but it's handled with an admirable proficiency that does the limited material proud. Dinner for Schmucks: Other Editions
