    The picture, written and directed by Francis Veber, the screenwriter of "La Cage Aux Folles,'' is a complete success.

    It's a long time since I've heard a press screening audience applaud a foreign film, but then it's a long time since a French movie has been as funny as The Dinner Game.

    This stage-bound farce could easily be an American sitcom: It's all slamming doors, eavesdropping and stupid miscommunications, garnished with a heavy-handed helping of comedy of humiliation.

    My, it was fun!! Explosive jokes, good actors and epic plot and screenplay, it sure deserves a better rating than this. I also think that some of these American reviews missed most of the jokes, it's definitively better if you're French because of the different culture.… Expand

    This is a terrific, funny French film that basically mocks idiots. At times annoying how stupid the characters are but it is sure to become a classic. It sort of reminds me of "It's a Mad Mad World" for some reason. 8 out of 10!… Expand
