The Dinner Game

Today in class, we finished the French movie The Dinner Game. Basically, it is the same plot as the American movie Dinner for Schmucks, but The Dinner Game was the original. The basic plot of the story is that there is a group of wealthy men who have a dinner every week and they each bring a total idiot and they make fun of them. Pierre Brochant meets a man by the name of Francois Pignon, who builds various monuments out of matches. Pierre gets in a fight with his wife about the dinner and that he shouldn't do it, and she leaves him. Following this spat, Francois enters the apartment on invitation and tries to fix the situation. He calls various people to help Pierre and seems to make everything worse. The Story comes out to be very entertaining and funny.
