<\/h2>\n<\/h2>\n|\u00a01999\u00a0 \u2013\u00a0 80′\u00a0 – COMEDY A runaway comedy hit when it was released in 1998,\u00a0The Dinner Game\u00a0remains an international cult classic. Adapted from director Francis Veber\u2019s own stage play, the film recounts the story of Pierre Brochant, a slick literary editor, and Fran\u00e7ois Pignon, a low-level schmuck at France\u2019s internal revenue service. Unbeknownst to him, Fran\u00e7ois is to play the role of Pierre\u2019s \u201cjerk\u201d at his weekly \u201cBring-a-Jerk-to-Dinner\u201d party, where he\u2019s sure to impress Pierre\u2019s snooty pals and win the evening\u2019s top prize. But a series of misadventures, spiraling further and further out of control, keeps the twosome from ever making it to the dinner party. Yet their farcical exploits implicate Fran\u00e7ois deeper and deeper into Pierre\u2019s personal life. In the end, it\u2019s a toss-up as to which of the two men is, indeed, the bigger jerk.<\/em> THE DINNER GAME |\u00a01999\u00a0 \u2013\u00a0 80′\u00a0 – COMEDY Written by: Francis Veber. based on the original play by: Francis Veber.
