One of the highest-grossing French films of recent years, Le Dîner de cons features a particularly French blend of social satire and adultery.
The wealthy editor Pierre Brochant (Thierry Lhermitte) and his friends have a weekly competition where each invites the most foolish man he can find for dinner. Tonight, Brochant is ecstatic, for he has found the ultimate idiot. But his guest, tax official Francois Pignon (Jacques Villeret), is a master in bringing on catastrophe.
Advisory content: strong language
"Writer-director Veber delivers a marvellously wrought plot… a classic example of a French farce."
