“Dinner for Schmucks,’’ the new movie from Jay Roach (“Austin Powers,’’ “Meet the Parents’’) is far from a classic of precision farce, but it’s funnier than the trailers make it seem. The ads highlight the dopiest, crassest gags; they’re there, all right, but as part of a nonstop flow of silliness that doesn’t build so much as continually renew itself. A number of bits don’t work, some of the characters wear out their welcome, but the whole suckers you into an agreeable state of idiot bliss. I felt a little unclean afterward, but that’s my problem.
