<p><br /> Paul Rudd and Steve Carell star in Jay Roach's summer comedy Dinner for Schmucks.<br /> </p><p><br /> Tim (Paul Rudd) is an aspiring business man who gets invited by his boss and his colleagues to a dinner party. The twist - each of them has to bring along an odd person who they can make fun of. Tim's choice falls on Barry (played by Steve Carell) - a seemingly odd yet likeable character.<br /> </p><p><br /> "What I like about this guy is that he is a very innocent and earnest person", says Carell.<br /> </p><p><br /> "He just is so well intentioned and well meaning but underlying that is a real sense of sorrow and pain."<br /> </p><p><br /> Dinner for Schmucks, which is a remake of 1998 French comedy The Dinner Game, hits theatres on September 3.<br /> </p>
