Seeing Dinner For Schmucks Will Require You To Give The Kidd A Good Meal

July 19, 2010 | by The Infamous Billy The Kidd |

If there’s one thing this summer has been severely lacking (other than a lot of good movies period) is a really strong comedy. There hasn’t been much on the calendar that’s gone out of its way to make us laugh really hard, but that could be coming to an end finally. If the positive buzz The Kidd’s been hearing from those who have already seen it is any indication, DINNER FOR SCHMUCKS is going to be a movie you definitely want to see.

That’s why when Paramount offered me the chance to host a special advance screening of DINNER FOR SCHMUCKS in South Miami, I took them up on it with the quickness. I made my reservation for Wednesday night, July 28, at 7:30 p.m., at the AMC Sunset Place 24, and The Kidd has clearance for a pretty big table seating a lot of you. I plan on inviting quite a few of you schmucks for this screening, but you’re going to have to prove that you’re worthy of my company.

If you want a chance to see DINNER FOR SCHMUCKS, starring Steve Carell and Paul Rudd, then you’re going to have to supply The Kidd with some dinner of his own. Here’s how this is going to work. Your task is to submit your best, most delicious, most delectable, most appetizing, mouth-watering dinner dish to The Kidd. Throw in the ingredients, the cooking instructions, the whole she-bang, so, if I decide to check out your specialty, I can make it to perfection. And I’ll go through these recipes one at a time, and pick the ones that appeal the most to me. Of course, there’s no telling what I may like, so you’re just going to have to guess and hope for the best. However, the culinary creations I select will land passes to see DINNER FOR SCHMUCKS.

E-mail your entries to Contests@InfamousKidd.com with the following subject line exactly:

EAT UP, SCHMUCK

If you don’t have that subject line exactly, then you don’t have an entry. So cut and paste it, if you must, and be sure you have it perfectly, in all CAPS with that all-important COMMA, or your entry will never even reach us. There’s a specific reason for the subject line needing to be exact, so, if you can’t even follow our first simple instruction than you are done before you ever really got going.

Next, be sure to include your name. This is a MUST. If your entry has no name, it doesn’t exist. I can’t give prizes to people with no name. I also don’t search for names or hunt for names, so, if your name isn’t clearly visible on your entry, then you’re out. Your name must be in the body of your e-mail. If it’s anywhere else, that’s too bad for you.

The deadline for this contest is Friday, July 23, at 8:00 p.m. Winners will be contacted via e-mail over the weekend. One entry per person per e-mail per name. Therefore, multiple or duplicate entries from duplicate or similar names will be disqualified, as we are able to see the names attached to the accounts you are sending your entries from. And, if you forget a piece of information and try to send it in later, that counts as a multiple, so get it right the first time. After all, I’m not writing these instructions up for my health.

Also, if you cannot attend this screening, do not enter. If you can’t get a babysitter, don’t enter. If you can’t get out of work early enough, don’t enter. If you have class, homework, chores, prior engagements, or previous commitments that would prevent you from attending this screening, do not enter… unless, of course, you’re comfortable being ineligible to enter and win any further screening passes. Therefore, enter at your own risk.

All decisions and rulings are those of The Kidd’s, and my word is final.

Good luck to you all. My taste buds await what you consider your best.
