This weekend theaters will be filled with a mix of everything. Steve Carell reunites with his 40 Year Old Virgin co-star Paul Rudd for the film Dinner for Schmucks. It’s an American remake of a French movie about a group of upper crust execs who throw a weekly dinner party and bring the dumbest, most obnoxious people they can find as guests. On the family front, Cats and Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore is also opening (to the dismay of the general population). The film, like its predecessor showcases the war between canines and felines that just won’t end!
