I honestly don’t remember how we ended up adding The Dinner Game to our rental
queue, but I’m awfully glad we did. The comedy revolves around a group of
friends who have a monthly dinner together. To add some spice to their
evenings, they have a contest to see who can invite the biggest idiot as a
guest. When Pierre Brochant discovers a man who works at the Ministry of
Finance and builds matchstick models of famous engineering achievements,
he’s certain he has a winner for the next dinner. The film is uproarious,
and well worth seeing if you enjoy situation comedies at all. My only
complaint was that there wasn’t an English audio track, but listening to the
French while reading the English didn’t diminish significantly from our
enjoyment.
