1998 French comedy Rating: 13/20
Plot: A group of snobbish friends each bring a guest to a weekly dinner party/contest. The objective? To see who can bring the biggest idiot. Pierre thinks he's found himself a guaranteed victory with Francois, an accountant who enjoys making sculptures out of matchsticks and endlessly talking about them. Haughty Pierre throws his back out and ends up spending the evening with the bumbling Francois alone. The results are disastrous.
As funny as an above-average sitcom of Frasier with a well-constructed script that you at laugh at with a silent nodding of the noggin. I think I would have liked to see more idiots, but without that exposition, this made a nice and tidy mostly single setting farce. The jokes in this actually should have probably been more predictable, but this unfolded well enough and was an enjoyable 80 minutes. I liked the actor who played the idiot accountant.
Coincidentally, my name is French for "snotty jackass". Here I am:
