Editorial Reviews

Every wednesday night a few guys have a meal together. There is a game coupled with the meal: each one of them has to bring an "idiot". The game consists in making the idiots talk about there ideas and passions so that the hosts can have a good laugh. At the end they will choose the "idiot of the evening". One of the hosts has invited his idiot home so they could go to the dinner together, but unfortunately he gets a severe pain in his back due to an accident that day and can't go to the "meal of idiots". Even worse is the fact that the idiot tries to help him all the time, and naturally does everything wrong and aggravates every situation.<br><br>Le Mercredi, pour Pierre Brochant et ses amis, c'est le jour du dîner de cons. Le principe est simple:chacun amčne un con. Celui qui a dégoté le plus spectaculaire est déclaré vainqueur. Ce soir, Brochant exulte. Il a trouvé la perle. Le con idéal. "Un conde classe mondiale!" François Pignon, comptable au Ministčre des Finances, passionné de modčles réduits en allumettes. Mais ce qu'il ne sait pas, c'est que Pignon est un fieffé porteur de guigne passé maître dans l'art de déclencher les catastrophes...

5.0 out of 5 stars Stupidity Vs Arrogance, February 12, 2006
This review is from: Le Diner de Cons (Original French Version with English Subtitles) (DVD)
Before it became a movie the dinning game was a very successful play in France for many years. Jacques Villeret one of the greatest French comedians (he died in January 2005) was playing the same character. When it came out in French theaters in 1998 it was even more successful than the Titanic! No wonder since it is a great comedy. Almost the entire movie takes place in an appartment in Paris and the sequence of funny events is unstoppable.
As the movie unfolds it makes you hate arrogance way more than stupidity, although who is smart and who is stupid is an open subject at the end of the movie.
It seems that stupidity comes out victoriously when faced with arrogance.
I highly recommend this movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great comedy!, September 7, 2004
This review is from: Le Diner de Cons (Original French Version with English Subtitles) (DVD)
I am a French professor and this is the only French movie that I consistently show to my (mostly American) students because it's hilarious and even the most reticent students end up laughing out loud and loving it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Laugh-out loud guffaws!, December 31, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This is an,initially unsuspecting, hilarious comedy, based mainly on a sweet and naive character. What begins as a mean-spirited "make-fun-of-the-dope" idea, develops into a laugh-out-loud, "we're totally rooting for this sweet guy", comedy. We first saw this movie on a plane returning from France, and we swear the whole plane was actually vibrating with the ensuing laughter!!
