Editorial Reviews

Tired of turning on talk shows only to watch your favorite celebrities plug their next movie? What if you could join them for an uncensored, candid and unforgettable dinner? Actor/Director, Jon Favreau (Swingers/Elf), creates a talk show environment that finally allows Hollywood’s biggest movers and shakers to be themselves. The Emmy nominated series, Dinner for Five, invites you to pull up a chair and listen in on some of Hollywood’s greatest untold stories. Because in an interview you’d never hear it. Over dinner, well that’s another story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth it..., January 23, 2008

I haven't even watched every episode but already this DVD set is worth every penny I paid for it. The concept of ths show is genius. Dinner, drinks, cigars and talk that is hilarious, sometimes sad and touching, exciting and always insanely entertaining. Rarely does an episode not deliver some unexpected delights and the numbers of "classics" are too numerous to mention. If you like the "real" Hollywood or just storytelling in general you will be spellbound by this show. "Dinner for Five" makes "Inside the Actors Studio" look a little phoney and forced in comparison. The show's breezy, spontaneous style is captivating letting loose the truly most talented storytellers to wow you. In addition it just might prove that Burt Reynolds is one of the most gifted gab artists that the entertainment world has ever seen. That alone makes the investment worth it. If you're hesitating a little like I did-- stop. You won't regret it

A little pricey, but Im a huge fan of the show. The first season looks and sounds terrible. It gets better by the season though. If you love movies and like to hear stories about making them and the actors that are in them, this is a really cool show. I hope this show comes back to IFC..

Listen, the camera is running, and the people featured on the show know it, so don't expect completely uninhibited convo. But for the most part, all the people featured on this program are very engaging and awesome to listen to speak. Jon Favreau is great keeping everyone in check, piping in, but not taking over the conversation at any time. As an actor, it's wonderful to hear actors talk about their experiences, etc. Same goes with other people in the industry who have achieved success and like to share their stories and wisdom. It's a shame this show is no longer running on IFC channel. Maybe if I make it as an actor one day, I can take over for Mr. Favreau. Definitely recommend this great set.
