Guillaume, my college mate at Leeds, insisted that there was some truth behind "Le Dîner de Cons", which was released in the US as "The Dinner Game"; he was eleven when his father invited an acquaintance to a dinner with his colleagues from essay writing service. Pierre, the name of the acquaintance, had no idea that he would be subjected to a night of ridicule. Until the dinner, he had no idea that Guillaume's father saw him as stupid.

I don't know. I mean, it was too hard to believe such a story. If I were prejudiced against the French, then I might have inclined to buy Guillaume's tale, which was mean and sick. But hey, French tend to think differently. Francis Veber, who directed "Le Dîner de Cons", created a brilliant comedy about what happened when a cruel intention backfired. Jacques Villeret, who played the intended target of ridicule, was simply fantastic; his character may have carried a talisman for bad luck prior to dinner. Pity the guy who have invited him for dinner.

"Le Dîner de Cons" won three César Awards, the French equivalent of the Oscar. Furthermore, some movie critics from uk essays and other film publications named it as one of the best films of 1998. It's one of those original French comedy that Hollywood will never be able to remake. Not even Jim Carrey or Steve Carrell or Eddie Murphy can match the diminutive Villeret (bless his soul).
