Argh what an ugly poster. The french original (Diner de cons) is one of my favorite movies but this looks pretty lame
I refuse to see this because of the creepy Carell Eye on the poster.

There you go.
From all that I've heard, it couldn't be worse than the actual movie.
This is a surprising Gem of a comedy. I do not care what anyone says. I laughed my ass off and felt the emotional payoff of the film. I was happy through and it warmed my heart. Yes, there were some cheesy moments but the comedic talent in this film is undisputed. They really know how to bring the absurd and ridiculous. I smiled throughout. Definitely gong to be pick this up maybe in the 6 month mark of this year. Did anyone else notice that I've cut down my DVD buys as of 2012?
Nothing wrong with this film. It's a guilty pleasure. It's not memorable or compelling enough to watch it with some sort of frequency, and I'm sure I'll forget it existed after a while.
