Supporting performances from Jemaine Clement (Flight of the Conchords), David Walliams and Lucy Punch save proceedings from complete disaster, supplying a few laugh-out-loud one-liners. Otherwise, it’s a pretty stodgy repast.

Tim (Paul Rudd) is an ambitious executive who, in order to win promotion, has to find an idiot to take to dinner with his boss so they can all make fun of him.

This is a cringe-worthy Hollywood remake of French movie Le Diner de Cons with Steve Carrell as its star, but he is far from at his 'Office’ best here.

Released on DVD on 17 January
