Can't say I know much about Brit blond Lucy Punch, save for her cute name (and nose). But her latest gig indicates movement on the long-awaited DINNER WITH SCHMUCKS, and that's worth looking at. Her too, of course... Punch will join Steve Carell and his Apatow-esque buddy Paul Rudd under FOCKERS handler Jay Roach, for the adaptation of Francis Veber's French play -and 1998 film- Le Dîner...
