The Dinner Game - 1 star

The Dinner Game is the pathetic predescesor to the adorable French movie The Closet. A group of friends have dinner each week with the biggest losers they can find. Pierre finds a loser who ends up caring for him after causing an accident. The main actor is in both of these films, playing different characters, and the name of the loser is the same. Skip the Dinner Game, it's lame. Rent the Closet instead. It's in French with English subtitles about a guy who is so boring he's lost his wife, his kid, and about to lose his job. His neighbor convinces him to perform a stunt to make people take notice. It's very sweet and cleverly done.
