The Dinner Game Reviews
The Dinner Game
This is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. Every scene is worth watching again and again. At the same time, it is a comedy with a message. Its serious point is as important as the absolutely hysterical moments. It gets my highest rating.
Perfectly Hilarious!
I first saw this film at a Boston French Film festival. I didn't speak French at the time but even my friends who could were thankful for the subtitles because the crowd laughed so hard at certain points in the movie that you couldn't even hear the actors! I've seen this movie so many times that I don't even need the subtitles anymore because I have it all memorized. For subtitle-wary folks, this movie is well worth getting over that - My ex's 9 year old son used to beg us to watch it. Why? Because this is definitely one of the most exquisitely hilarious movies I have ever seen. It's not what one would reffer to as mindlessly funny or stupid/goofy funny, it's funny because of the intelligently subtle comic timing, great writing and direction, and the chemistry between the main characters. Lhermitte's ability to say so much with just a look will have viewers laughing throughout the movie. Pignon, the bumbling, well-meaning but oft disasterous character brings the movie to a level of hilarity that will make you laugh until you cry. (Not to give anything away, but the ending of a phone call that Pignon makes proves to be the biggest laugh in the movie and one that will go down in cimenatic history)They are supported by a cast with perfect comic timing and a well developed story with surprises. Given the limited locations (the movie is set almot entirely in Lhermitte's apartment) the movie holds your attention and keeps you laughing until the very end.
