The Dinner Game (DVD, 2003)

I thoroughly enjoy French comedy films, and this one is at the top of my favourites list!

A brilliant and delightful comedy that will have you roaring with laughter ... fantastic script, characters and acting ... a marvellous story!

Treat yourself to this fantastic farce ... it's sure to become a memorable and often-watched member of your comedy collection!

A group of elitest snobs invite "guests" to dinner parties, the point of which is to see who can find the most boring (read: nerdy, goofy) people they can find. Normally, these "guests" are aloof to the scathing critiques that follow.

A particular soiree is foiled by a bumbling but lovable toothpick architect who ends up teaching his famous friend a very valuable lesson in life!

You have to see it to get the nuances and just plain excellent acting/timing that make this a French comic classic; with sub-titles is best. Try to avoid the English-synched version.

If you are feeling down and need a laugh (at the expense of strangers!) this is for you. You don't need to know French ,but the subtitles are helpful. This is really funny if you are in for a distraction from your bad day. Get out the popcorn or champagne and ENJOY!!!!

THIS IS AN EXCELLENT PRODUCT!!!GREAAAAAAAATTTT ITEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++=

I love Thierry Lhermite first. And it is one of the funniest movies that he ever made. I think that if you understand French you will enjoy better but the subtitles are not too bad explaining the word games, so it is definitely a movie to enjoy

This movie is a strike of comedic genius. You always find yourself laghing and yet at the same time feeling fot the charcters involved. Unless you have a sour mouth, I don't see why or how you wouldn't be able to laugh at this movie.

A wonderful movie, one absolutely needs this movie in one's modern French collection. It is hilarious, yet insightful, uncommon, yet easily relatable,ultimately, it is very charming.

This is a much loved filmed I've watched on IFC for years. This is a story of a man who thinks he is superior to everyone around him, and even has an "idiot's dinner" every week where his friends all try to bring the best "idiot". Everything thing goes wrong for this supposedly superior human, and we just enjoy laughing at his situation that he brought on himself! Great film!!

It is a hillarious movie about a dinner game in which they have to bring the biggest idoit they can find...and that is how it starts he finds his idiot and diaster after disaster happen. You don't even mind that you have subtitles to read it is so funny.
