The Dinner Game (1998)

4/5

The Dinner Game is hysterical. I saw this movie at Clemons Library with my friends working around me and my joy distracted all of them. It consistently made me laugh until the final freeze frame. The movie is based on a play, and it shows: it takes place in one location with a limited cast and incredibly precise dialogue. The acting was pitch-perfect for comedic timing, but some of the editing hindered the comedy and was pretty amateurish overall. There was no real music to speak of, and the cinematography/directing overall was extremely bland. But this movie is SO funny!! Highly highly recommended for pure entertainment value.
