Review: 'Dinner For Schmucks' An Unsatisfying Meal
There's a lot less bite in "Dinner for Schmucks" than there was in the classic French farce that was its inspiration. Whereas "The Dinner Game" ("Le Diner de Cons") from celebrated writer-director Francis Veber was a tight, sharp satire of societal pretension ? and was nominated for six Cesar Awards in 1999 ? this remake seems more interested in easy, broad slapstick.

Morning Take-Out
Weak data from the Fed, and we haven?t even started the budget cuts yet. In Europe, at least, the green shoots have grown to full-sized flora and are pushing the stock market higher . But that doesn?t mean everyone?s happy.

Powerhouse Singer, Headless Revolutionaries, Leggy Dancers: London Stage
The plot of Verdi?s ?La forza del destino? (The Force of Destiny) is wonderfully crazy even by operatic standards. There are coincidences, there are accidents, and the soprano spends most of the story as a monk. No wonder it?s known as a director?s graveyard.
