Movie Description A tongue-in-cheek examination of both sides of the political spectrum, this black comedy follows the culinary exploits of a group of liberal graduate students who invite right-wingers to dinner to pick their brains--literally, as it turns out. After each dinner, the guest of honor is murdered and buried in the back yard. A cutting satire on the self-righteous on both sides of the political divide.
