Dinner for Schmucks is the hilarious tale of discovering the good in somebody no matter how hard it is to find. Steve Carell stars, alongside Paul Rudd, with an incredibly versatile cast to back them up. This talented group includes Zach Galifianakis, Bruce Greenwood, Lucy Punch and many more.
Director Jay Roach (The Austin Powers Franchise, Meet the Parents, Meet the Fockers) injects a lot of heart to this remake of the 1998 French film Le diner de cons. Jay knows comedy and he understands that tragedy and heartbreak can benefit from humor. He does this especially well in Schmucks, thanks to Carell’s wonderfully insane character.
iamROGUE.com spoke to Mr. Roach regarding the film. He also talked about the business and the challenges of finding your way. This is the first part of a candid and informative interview with the immensely talented director, starting off with a little Schmuck talk.
Dinner for Schmucks is now available on Blu-ray and DVD and you are invited.
