OUT FOR DINNER

Today's film was the French comedy

Le code a changé / A Change of Plans (2009)

This comedy of bad manners between four couples and a few relatives is built around an annual dinner party given at one couple's house.

We see the dinner and then what goes on both coming and going. There is a lot of difference between what people do and say at the party and what they do and say with each other one on one.

OK. Normal so far.

Then throw in the gimmick that the parties are not shown in sequence. Some go to the past some are in the future.

Sometimes it is a little hard to figure when and where you are but the film helps with cues which seem superfluous at the beginning but crucial later on.

It is an enjoyable, somewhat realistic affair. Amusing. Never LOL humor. Gallic.

It was enjoyable. I will give it a 3 out of Netflix5.
