The Dinner Game

Wealthy publisher Pierre Brochant (Thierry Lhermitte), faces his greatest social challenge in this classic French comedy of errors. He is supposed to find a "guest" (who must be an idiot), to bring to a dinner sponsored by his friends,who are wealthy and obnoxious yuppies engaged in a never ending game of oneupmanship. He is sure to win the prize when he invites Francois Pignon (Jacques Villeret), a lowly finance ministry accountant who reproduces famous monuments, with matchsticks. Little does Pierre realise that Francois is a giant among idiots who will have systematically destroyed half his life - quite innocently - before entrees even reach the table...
