Le Dîner des Cons

The Dinner Game (French: Le Dîner de Cons; literally Dinner of Fools) is a French comedy film filmed and written by Francis Veber in 1998, based on his play Le Dîner de Cons. It was the highest-grossing French film of the year at the box office in France (second overall behind Titanic).

Pierre Brochant, a Parisian publisher, attends a monthly "idiots' dinner," where participants, largely his famous Parisian businesspeople acquaintances, are required to bring an "idiot" for ridicule by the other guests. The evening's "champion idiot" is chosen at the conclusion of the supper. The film received six nominations for the 1999 César Awards, winning three of them. Best Actor for Jacques Villeret, Best Supporting Actor for Daniel Prévost, and Best Screenplay for Francis Veber were among the awards it received.
