Synopsis
For Pierre Brochant and his friends, Wednesday is “Idiots' Day”. The idea is simple: each person has to bring along an idiot. The one who brings the most spectacular idiot wins the prize. Tonight, Brochant is ecstatic. He has found a gem. The ultimate idiot, “A world champion idiot!”. What Brochant doesn’t know is that Pignon is a real jinx, a past master in the art of bringing on catastrophes...

Viewers generally adore 'Le Dîner de Cons' for its brilliant blend of humor and unexpected twists, praising Jacques Villeret's standout performance as François Pignon. The film's clever dialogue and comedic situations consistently evoke laughter, making it a beloved classic in French cinema. While some find the premise morally questionable, the majority relish the film's ability to turn a simple dinner gathering into a riotously funny debacle.
👍 Jacques Villeret's performance is a highlight.
