Le Diner de cons (1998) ***

Rollicking and very funny farce about insensitive men inviting unsuspecting "idiots" to a dinner party. But one host (Lhermitte) gets more than he bargained for when he tries to invite a "world champion of idiots". In a matter of hours, he strains his back, looses his wife and gets audited by fiscal authorities. Best gag: a French version of the "Who's on first" routine, squeezing every ounce of hilarity out of a simple name - Just Leblanc.
