- Critics' reviews
-
-
"There are times when the comedy works, but the number of genuinely amusing sequences are outnumbered by those that, in trying to generate laughter, simply seem silly"
-
"The Dinner Game works thanks to some exceptionally strong acting, impeccable timing and rapid-fire delivery of many funny lines."
-
"No one could claim that the film is a distinguished contribution to cinema, but it would be churlish to resist its geniality and speed"
-
"It's a long time since I've heard a press screening audience applaud a foreign film, but then it's a long time since a French movie has been as funny as The Dinner Game"
