Tim Rudd's (Paul Rudd) boss tells him he might be getting a promotion soon, but he has to impress the boss at a dinner party first. Tim's coworkers confess that this dinner party will involve making fun of shmucks -- guys who don't quite fit in with the company's management. After a fated meeting with Barry (Steve Carell), Tim shows up at the dinner with the unusual Barry in tow and his life takes more than a few unusual turns.http://www.youtube.com/watch#!v=eZ4i_woBTF8

Schmuck is a Yiddish (Jewish) word that can mean different things depending on how it is used. Its nicest use is to mean someone who does something stupid like wear socks that don't match. This type of shmuck is a dumb shmuck.http://www.schmucku.com/definition.html http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Yiddish

Besides being dumb, a person can be called a schmuck because he is nosy and selfish -- or downright obnoxious or manipulative. Shmucks vary from pesky at best to dangerous at worst.http://www.schmucku.com/definition.html

Schmucky behavior can also be either deliberate or unintentional. The dumb shmuck is at least not trying to be a shmuck. The manipulative shmuck really tries to earn the title.http://www.schmucku.com/definition.html
