This was not quite what I would have imagined from the title and commercials (I'm not familiar with the French film "Le Dîner de Cons" upon which it is based). It's mildly more complicated than I would have imagined. This is the first Steve Carell performace that I enjoyed. He played it straight and did a brilliant job of remaining character without allowing that typical, annoying Steve Carell energy to overpower it.
It's a goofy, silly movie with heart. My wife found it to be overly stupid, but I found it absolutely hilarious. I suppose it just depends if it happens to tickle your funny bone. To my delighted surprise, it tickled mine.
I just watched it on tv and really didn't like it. All over the place and typical screwups that pass for comedy these days. Everything/one was way over the top.
In addition, Dan In Real Life was a quite touching romantic comedy with Carrell in the lead.

I especially found the Audi R8 sequence a riot. That was an expensive prop.

Nearly caused me to fall from my seat. Funny, but with some slow points.

During the dinner scene with Carell's show, I nearly peed my pants.
