The picture, written and directed by Francis Veber, the screenwriter of "La Cage Aux Folles,'' is a complete success.
The fun is in getting there, and in the mechanics, charted by writer-director Francis Veber.
Just a plain old fun movie.
A featherweight parlor-room French farce in need of an anchor to keep it from being blown away by the summer blockbuster gales.
A perfectly entertaining little French comedy that doesn't quite lodge in your brain in the way you hope it would.
Adapted from a long-running stage play, The Dinner Game has been refined to peak comic efficiency, with every misunderstanding and hare-brained scheme neatly cascading into bigger and bigger catastrophes.
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.
