  Funny French farce
  
  This was much funnier than I had expected, and at times I laughed out loud. Some of the verbal slap stick was great fun.

  Great fun
  
  A very amusing, laugh out loud comedy in typical French style. The strong storyline and great acting made this very watchable and fun.

  Much better in the original
  
  I saw 'Dinner for Schmucks' recently and barely laughed at its contrived, puerile humour which was scarcely worthy of a CBeebies production. That film ... read more »

  A Lesson in Farce
  
  Le Diner De Cons is a sublimely crafted farce which is both wickedly cruel and at times utterly ridiculous. However I must admit that having seen the English ... read more »
