However, he stalks the wrong target, blowing up a boring politician instead. And now he must pay the price for his breezy bungling in a killingly funny black comedy. 'School for Scoundrels' - Enrol at the wacky College of Lifemanship where a host of great British comedians teach a completely uproarious course on how to come out tops in any social situation.
