---|---|---|---|
United Kingdom | Empire | "Veber delivers a marvellously-wrought plot at exactly the length it can sustain (...) A classic example of the French farce (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)" | POS |
Canada | The Globe and Mail | "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" | POS |
United States | SFGATE | "The timing of Villeret and Lhermitte is clean and winning (...) The film's many phone bits are particularly brilliant." | POS |
United States | ReelViews | "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" | NEU |
United States | Chicago Tribune | "The Dinner Game works thanks to some exceptionally strong acting, impeccable timing and rapid-fire delivery of many funny lines." | POS |
United States | The New Yorker | "No one could claim that the film is a distinguished contribution to cinema, but it would be churlish to resist its geniality and speed" | POS |
