Summary: A Classic French Farce
Review: "The Dinner Game" is quite possibly the most hilarious film I've seen all year. It is about a man who attends dinner parties where people compete and see who can bring the best idiot to dinner with him. The man ends up having to spend an evening with his idiot while he is injured. Hilarity, of course, ensues. This is the only movie that has literally left me "rolling in the aisles."

Summary: Americans could've never come up with this stuff.
Review: An amazing French film. I strongly recommend this film to anyone of thinking and brillent comedy. Those people who ONLY LIKE SLAPSTICK COMEDY, this is NOT for you. Those people with a great taste of real humor, YOU WILL LOVE THIS MOVIE. It's about this guy who has a dinner party with his friends and the friends invite the most boring idiotic people to the dinner. One of the guy's friend's gets injured, not the idiot. and can't go to the dinner. so the idiot stays home making all the trouble for the guy. the idiot finds out that he was invited for the dinner just for a laugh. the idiot is a real idiot, i mean a REAL IDIOT. I laughed from beginning to end, not one part of the movie wasen't funney. TO BE A 100% HONEST THIS IS THE ONLY MOVIE I SAW THAT I DID NOT STOP LAUGHING. ALL THE OTHER GOOD COMEDY MOVIES I SAW WERE FUNNEY, BUT NOT EVERY SECOND FROM BEGINNING TO END AND MOST OF THE COMEDYS I'VE SEEN GET REAL BORING. THIS IS THE ONLY COMEDY I'VE EVER SEEN THAT DID NOT GET BORING ONCE. GET THE MOVIE OR YOU ARE REALLY MISSING OUT. THOSE OF ONLY SLAPSTICK COMEDY AND THOSE PEOPLE WHO ONLY LIKE SLAPSTICK COMEDYS THIS IS NOT FOR YOU. THIS IS THE MOST CLEVER COMEDY I'VE EVER SEEN. ENJOY!

Summary: One of the best if not the best french films i've ever seen
Review: and i've been living in paris for 7 years. This movie is witty, smart, funny and genuinely french. i've seen it over 5 times but still laugh hysterically every time. The set, plot and characters are all very simple but Francis Veber's remarquable screenplay and direction make this film a must-see. i strongly recommend it to anyone who just wants to have a good time. You definitly will not regret buying this classic

Summary: Comedy In True Sense
Review: Besides being a comedy it has a plot as well.The director and the actors performed brilliantly. The movie is unpredicatable and the twists it takes is hilarious. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and would definitely recommend to anyone who is in for a good humor for the length of the movie. It is not a slap stick comedy which is even more re-freshing. Overroll comment " the Dinner Game" is definitely in a class of its own and would definitely be nominated for an oscar my comedy category for foreign movies.

Summary: The Dinner Game
Review: Certainly one of the best French comedies ever brought onto the big screen. The cast is perfect and the situations are hillarious from begining to end. I've seen the movie already 7 times at least and each time it's the same pleasure ! An absolute must...

Summary: THE WORST NIGHTMARE OF OUR LIFE!
Review: Do you want be happy 80 minutes? This movie is a big amusement.Ok, this is not a movie, but a theatre work; ok, we can be afraid to be again guest of somebody; ok, it's not usual, nowadays, show a stupid man in this way... But who is the victim, really? The poor idiot or the "normal"? When we think about stupidity usually we remember some stupid actions, probably by almost normal person. This is a dangerous error! We have to remember that the real idiot is a perfect entity, nobody can defend himself against a real idiot. He is strong, always euphoric, determined, never tired, never resting, and the worst thin you can find is when the real idiot decides to help you! Jacques Villeret is a wonderful Francois Pignon, the idiot; the script of this movie makes him like a real Emperor, in his speciality. At last, you will understand and forgive Brochant, the man who has invited Pignon at the "dinner of idiots", because Pignon destroys definitively his life only in an hour and some minutes.

Summary: An Unexpected Comedy
Review: François (Jacques Villeret) is invited by Pierre (Thierry Lhermitte) to a dinner party, which is a front for a cruel joke that Pierre and his friends frequently play. The joke is a contest to see who can bring the greatest idiot to the dinner. Pierre injures his back before the dinner and it seems like Pierre has to cancel the dinner with François. Nevertheless, François appears to be to good to be true, and he is rather difficult to get rid off. The Diner Game delivers an unexpected comedy experience that is performed by an excellent cast.

Summary: Ou Est L'Humanité?
Review: I agree: there are some good laughs in this film, especially as it warms up after the first half hour. That said, it left me with a quibble and with a slight off taste. First, the quibble -- unlikely to have bothered most people. The premise is that the snobs invite an idiot to dinner each week, but the film has a bit of an odd notion of where to look for idiots. Why does Pignon get picked? Because he has an obsession -- just like the boomerang man in one of the opening scenes. In Pignon's case, the obsession is making meticulous scale models of bridges, buildings, the Eiffel Tower... out of matchsticks. But weird hobbies and peculiar obsessions aren't the same as stupidity. As it turns out, Pignon doesn't disappoint. Not only is he obsessed; he's also clueless. But that's where the off taste comes in. We don't have any sympathy for Pierre, the snob who invites Pignon to his house, but nonetheless, the movie puts the audience in the place of the would-have-been dinner guests: we get our laughs as much at Pignon's expense as from looking down on his host. There's one brief moment of humanity at the very end, but the screenplay immediately takes it back. The reply, I suppose, is that it's a comedy, for heaven's sake! True enough; we aren't watching it to be edified. But the film would be cleverer if the audience got its own come-uppance.

Summary: Incroyable!!!!
Review: I am not a fan of comedies- in fact, I hesitated to get, "Le diner de cons" (The Dinner Game) until I read other reviews and heard what a few French friends thought about this film. It is not at all the comedy you'd expect- so funny- laugh out loud funny but down to earth with a few moral messages hidden within the script. In many ways, it is easy to relate to each character's pros and cons. What a wonderful way to teach about man's flaws and more importantly, how we treat one another- through laughter-a modern Molière, maybe? Now, I want to see all of Veber's movies. This is an excellent film.

Summary: Worth every Euro!
Review: I came in on the middle of this film on HBO one afternoon while flipping through channels. I paused for a moment, got hooked, and spent the next hour laughing like a crazed fool. This is perhaps the funniest movie I have seen in the past decade. When you think it can't get any worse for the main character, or any funnier, it does! Having missed the first 30 minutes on HBO, I rushed out to buy the DVD, and have enjoyed watching this film again and again. It's PG-13, namely because of a few bad words and some content dealing with adultery.
