Elegant black humor, unstoppable innocence

Elegant black humor. Since it is elegant, of course it is superb. Coupled with the magnanimity and sincerity of the fool characters, I have nowhere to hide under the weight of shame.

This movie shows the hearts of fools too naked and beautiful. Even the bearded boss is as lovely as the vampire flying in from "Snow White."

Shame. My shame. Many times I really looked at it with shame.

If ordinary people can be touched by this movie a little bit, the world will be saved next Tuesday.

Dinner for Schmucks quotes

  • Barry: He slept with Martha at my house! I was under the bed the whole time. What an idiot!

  • Therman: Now tell us, Barry, why did your wife leave? Spit it out of your mouth. Say it. Say it, boy.

    Barry: I lost her clitoris!

    Robin: You lost her clitoris?

    Barry: She got mad because I couldn't find it, and I said 'It's probably in your purse,' because nine times out of 10 when she loses something, that's where they end up.

    Robin: Barry, do you even know what that is?

    Barry: I don't know what half the stuff in her purse is.

    Therman: Don't worry Barry. I found it. It was in her purse. It was in her naughty purse.

    Robin: Wow. Well thank God somebody found it, right?

    Barry: I thought I found it under the couch. Turns out it was just an old piece of chewing gum.
