Hapless but vapid, Barry is endowed with an overall endearing quality but lacks the ability to negotiate. In it, Carell is Barry, is an IRS employee who was left by his wife (“MADtv” alum Alex Borstein, aka “Pudding”) for his boss, Thurman Murch (played by none other than the wacky Zach Galifianakis). That’s who’s coming to dinner in “Dinner for Schmucks,” an American adaptation of a 1998 French film (“The Dinner Game”) brought to the states by Director Jay Roach. LIHU‘E - Leave it to Steve Carell to turn a could-be-creepy character into a fun-loving, ingratiating village idiot with a penchant for mice taxidermy.
