      François Pignon: [after hanging up the phone] It was your sister.

      Pierre Brochant: I don't have a sister.

      François Pignon: [appears confused] You don't? I said, "Who is this?". She said, "His sister".

      Pierre Brochant: [incredously to himself] He called Marlène!

      François Pignon: She's not your sister?

      Pierre Brochant: Her name is Marlene Hissister!

      François Pignon: How could I know? She said, "Marlene, his sister." It's confusing.

    Funny and witty

    «Le dîner de cons» is one of the best film by Francis Veber. Funny, witty and intelligent, the movie tells the story of a group of men who are playing a strange game. The winner is the one who can find the perfect «con», the king of idiots! From beginning to end, this movie makes you laugh. Excellent performances by Thierry Lhermitte (one of the top French actor today) and Jacques Villeret. Watch it again, you'll laugh more than the first time!

    7 out of 10.
