Tim (Paul Rudd) is a rising executive who "succeeds" in finding the perfect guest, IRS employee Barry (Steve 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.
Tim Conrad (PAUL RUDD) is dangerously close to having it all. He's a bright and good-looking guy, on the verge of asking his beautiful, long-time girlfriend, Julie (STEPHANIE SZOSTAK), to accept an upgrade to fiancée. An underling financial analyst at a private equity firm, Fender Financial, his business acumen has been noticed by the head of the company, Lance Fender (BRUCE GREENWOOD), who's about ready to kick Tim upstairs?but first, he's got to attend the upcoming monthly dinner at Fender's imposing mansion.
Easy-what's a little dinner with the other company bigwigs?
Well, it's not so much the meal that will determine his career trajectory-it's his choice of dinner guest.
Turns out, Fender and friends gather to dine and bask in the company of extraordinary people-those charmed individuals who are born thinking 'outside of the box.' These men and women dwell on the fringes of society, placed there as a result of their uniqueness.
In short, Fender asks each colleague to bring an idiot to dinner.
