As parents – are we practicing what we preach when it comes to teaching our kids about bullying? Bullying is serious business, and there isn’t a parent out there that wouldn’t take the issue seriously, so then why is it ok for us to glorify it on the big screen?
Dinner for Schmucks is a new movie starring funnymen Steve Carell and Paul Rudd. The basic premise of the film is that Tim (Rudd) is a rising executive who “succeeds” in finding the perfect guest, IRS employee Barry (Carell), for his boss’s monthly event, a so-called “dinner for idiots,” which offers certain advantages to the exec who shows up with the biggest buffoon.* Sounds hilarious, right?

Steve Carell confirmed today that he’s leaving The Office next May, when the 2010-2011 season ends. He’s joking, right? Because that’s what comedians do, they joke. But no, this funnyman is being deadly serious.
